| Etymology of specific epithet |
The name sertanejo is a Portuguese word which means something or someone originating in the Sertão, which is a general term designating a vast area of the savannahs of central and north-eastern Brazil, derived from the Portuguese word ‘desertão’ (big desert), in reference to the scarce human occupation of the region in the past, associated with the warm and dry climate. This species occurs in the area that is part of the region described in the famous novel Grande Sertão.
