Etymology:

The specific epithet is a noun in apposition, inspired in a folkloric legend from Portugal, brought by the XIX century to the States of Pernambuco and Piauí, where the new species is known from. Hearsay tell that, according to the legend the ‘Cabriola’ goat throws fire and moke through her eyes, nose and mouth at anyone wandering deserted streets on Friday nights. Also, it enters the houses through the roof or door, looking for spoiled and mischievous boys to become its meal. So luckily, there is no material evidence of its existence, and it only lives in the local folklore and in this solifuge species name.
