Names
It is called ausisiti in the Kwaza language of Rondônia, Brazil,[3] and nu’nu’ in the Shawi language of Peru.[4] Although considered least concern due to their adaptability to a variety of habitat types and tolerance of human disturbance, their distribution appears restricted by environmental factors and habitat loss due to widespread anthropogenic threats.[5]
