Etymology:
Acgorium felipechavarriai
is named in honor of Felipe Chavarria in recognition of his thousands of hours managing the detailed field accounting for ACG GDFCF projects and specifically for the parataxonomists program, while creating generously public and magnificent drone images of landscapes and camera images of ACG biota. The
holotype
and
paratypes
will be deposited in the Canadian National Collection along with others of this same ACG rearing/inventory programme.
