Species discovered in Refugio Amazonas by Adam Julian and Aaron Edward, a couple of friends who visited us at the beginning of 2016, from England through the Intense agency, their guide was Jhordi.
Their guide invited them to participate in the activity Discovering new species. Our visitors received the news of the discovery on April 24 of the following year. Flexuosus is a masculine adjective in the nominative singular, which means tortuous, sinuous, due to the characteristics of the species. Thanks Adam and Aaron !!
