Atlapetes blancae Donegan, 2007 OD here

The new species is dedicated to my beloved wife, Blanca Huertas, whose first name is formed as a first declension Latin feminine noun and declined in the genitive singular for the epiphet. Blanca's campanionship in the field and museum, as well as fund-raising, have contributed in no small part to the present work; this description also honours her contributions to Colombian lepidopterology, conservation and education.

The proposed name A. blancae coincidentally alludes to the new species' distinctive plumage character, its overall paler plumage compared to A. schistaceus. 'Blanca' is Spanish for 'white' in the feminine form, though this root is not the etymology of the name blancae.
