Remarks
doi:10.7717/peerj.12614 The specific epithet is named for 'the American actor and conservationist Leonardo DiCaprio, who, through several months in 2020, lobbied extensively on social media [...] to draw attention to threats for the numerous rare Ebo species from the logging concession that had been announced at Ebo earlier that year. The concession was cancelled in August 2020, surely partly due to his efforts.'
