4B24170318503A10FC8EFBEF24E1F9F7.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The specific epithet, lignator, is allusive to its type-locality, the Machado River, part of the Madeira River basin. In Portuguese, Machado means axe, and Madeira means wood. Lignator is Latin (m.) for a lumberjack who cuts trees into logs, often using axes. A noun in apposition.	en	Boaretto, Mariana Pascoal, Ohara, Willian Massaharu, Souza-Shibatta, Lenice, Birindelli, José Luís Olivan (2024): New banded Leporinus (Characiformes: Anostomidae) from the Madeira River basin, Brazil, and redescription of L. bleheri, based on integrative taxonomy.
