Etymology: The epithet piranauru is formed by a combination of words: “pira” which means “fish” and “naurú” which means “angry”, both words coming from the Tupi-Guarani (Brazilian Indian languages). Therefore, piranauru means ‘‘angry fish”—in Portuguese, “peixe bravo”—in allusion to the name of the region where the species occurs (vale do rio Peixe Bravo). It is to be treated as a noun in apposition.
