Road near Arcabuco; habitat of Huitaca boyacaensis

Both the genus Huitaca and the species epithet boyacaensis are named after the culture of the Muisca; Huitaca was the rebelling goddess of sexual liberation in the Muisca religion and Boyacá is one of the departments of Colombia where the Muisca lived.

The holotype has been found near the road from Arcabuco to Moniquirá on the Altiplano Cundiboyacense at an altitude of Шаблон:Convert. Nineteen paratype specimens have been collected at the same location; eight males, six females and five juveniles.[5]

The sternal organ seems to be homologous to Huitaca ventralis and Huitaca tama. The male specimen has a dark brown body with lighter legs.[6] Total length of the male holotype is Шаблон:Convert and of the female paratype Шаблон:Convert.[5][7]
