Name

edit

Ituglanis agreste Lima et al., 2013

Type locality: Brazil, Bahia, municipality of Boa Nova; rio de Contas basin, rio Gongogi drainage, rio Tarugo, tributary of rio Uruba, 14º22’08.95”S, 40º11’45.33”W [1].

Etymology: The specific name agreste (from Latin agrestis, which means relative to land, field, wild, or rustic) refers to a semi-humid narrow strip parallel to the coast in northeastern Brazil, encompassing the area between the Rio Grande do Norte State to the middle section of rio de Contas basin in Bahia State (Forattini et al., 1981), that marks the transition between two distinct biomes, the Atlantic Forest and the semi-arid Caatinga (Prado, 2003), where the species was discovered.
