Biology.

No host data available.

DNA barcoding data.

BIN BOLD: AAJ 1390 (2 sequences, 2 barcode compliant).

Etymology.

Named in honor of Mr. Tim Rich of California in recognition of his decade-plus and continuing steady financial administration of the GDFCF endowments for GDFCF programs in and around Area de Conservación Guanacaste.

Notes.

The BIN includes a sequence from Mexico; however, it is 1.95 % different from the ACG sequence, therefore we consider best not to include the Mexican specimen as part of this species until it can be examined.
