| Etymology |
This species was named after Dr. William M. Mann (1886–1960), a prominent American entomologist and myrmecologist. Dr. Mann was a doctoral student of William Morton Wheeler at Harvard University and worked at the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) as an entomologist, conducting several expeditions, mainly in Central and South America. According to Brown & Kempf (1960: 178), Dr. Mann was the first to discover this taxon (he collected much of the type-series on expeditions in Costa Rica and Honduras) and to recognize it as a new species (Mann 1922).
