The specific epithet is named after Alfredo de la Cruz Molano Bravo (1944-2019), Colombian sociologist, journalist and writer, who dedicated his life to travel the rural areas of Colombia with the intention of compiling the historical memory of the Colombian conflict, and worked his last years of life to be mediator in the peace dialogues.
