Etymology. Named lencionii (noun in genitive case) after Frederico Augusto de Atayde Lencioni (1970−), a notable Brazilian Odonatologist, whose friendship is priceless, for his 25+ years of odonatological work, his countless assistance in identification, loaning of specimens, and his advice through the years.
