Cambeva is a genus of freshwater ray-finned fish belonging to the family Trichomycteridae, the pencil and parasitic catfishes.[2][3] These fishes are found in South America.
Taxonomy
Cambeva was first proposed as a genus in 2018 by the Brazilian ichthyologists Axel Makay Katz, Maria Anaïs Barbosa, José Leonardo de Oliveira Mattos and Wilson José Eduardo Moreira da Costa with Pygidium davisi named as its type species. This genus is classified in the subfamily Trichomycterinae, the pencil catfishes, of the family Trichomycteridae, which contains teh pencil and parasitic catfishes.[1] This family is included in the suborder Loricaroidei in the catfish order Siluriformes.[4]
Etymology
Cambeva is the common name for these catfishes in southeastern Brazil. It is derived from Tupi, a’kãg, meaning "head", combined with pwea, which means "flat", an allusion to the dorsally flattened heads of these fishes.[5]
