Etymology.

Chelonus sergioriosi is named to honor Sr. Sergio Rios of GDFCF and ACG for his many years as a dedicated inventory parataxonomist for ACG.

Note.

A specimen from Collier County, Florida, United States (BOLD code BIOUG02575-C01) shares the same BIN, but the color of the hind leg is dramatically different making it unlikely to be conspecific. The hind femur and tibia of the Florida specimen are pale yellow, whereas the tibia of C. sergioriosi is brown. More specimens from the two localities will need to be barcoded and examined to confirm the consistency of this difference.
