Etymology: Cambeva: Probably derived from the Tupi-Guarani, is a popular name for trichomycterid fishes in southern and south-eastern Brazil (Ref. 119381); perobana: Name 'perobana' from 'pero', an allusion to the conservation unit of Parana State named 'Reserva Biológica das Perobas' and '-ana', a feminine Latin suffix meaning 'pertaining to'.
