NAME-BEARING TYPE. — Holotype by original designation (male), OUMNH. GoogleMaps

TYPE LOCALITY. — Bolivia: Beni: Moxos, Río Ichiguita , 155 m, 15°08’S, 65°18’W, savanna habitat.

ETYMOLOGY. — The masculine singular nominative of the proper noun Jardim, a Portuguese surname meaning ‘garden’, used in apposition. It is an eponym after my beloved maternal grandfather and Brazilian airline pilot Arlindo da Silva Jardim (1923-2014), who died in the same week I realised this species was new while examining specimens at the Oxford and London museums.

DISTRIBUTION. — Open savannas, pastures and perhaps river sandbanks in the Beni Savanna of Bolivia (in the Mamoré River Basin) and the western Brazilian Cerrado (on the northern fringes of the Pantanal wetlands).
