DCD3CE744C085D9D9714010E01C206CE.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The specific epithet honors the ecotourism company Inkaterra (https: // www. inkaterra. com /) and its non-profit NGO counterpart Inkaterra Asociacion. These two institutions started in 1975 and 1978, respectively, were founded by Jose E. Koechlin von Stein to promote education and conservation of Peruvian culture and ecosystems. Inkaterra and Mr. Koechlin have been recognized numerous times with awards and accolades for providing sustainable ecotourism and research opportunities for scientists. The type locality, Cusco Amazonico (now Reserva Amazonica), is owned and operated by Inkaterra and is the site of one of the most thoroughly studied areas in the Neotropics, particularly for amphibian and reptile natural history (e. g. Duellman, 2005; Orlofske et al. 2012).	en	Jadin, Robert C., Jowers, Michael J., Orlofske, Sarah A., Duellman, William E., Christopher Blair,, Murphy, John C.
