Name

Ameiva aggerecusans Koch, Venegas, Rödder, Flecks & Böhme, 2013

Holotype: ZFMK 85024, adult male.

Type locality: Balsas, Province of Chachapoyas, Region of Amazonas, Peru.

Etymology: The specific epithet is an agglutination of the Latin nomen “agger” which means dam and the verb “recusare” which means reject. As in Ameiva nodam this name was chosen to further emphasize our protest against the possible dam constructions along the Marañón river.
