Etymology of specific epithet |
Name was not explained by Hensel, probably from 'Acara', an Amerindian word used for South American cichlids (historically it was linked as a genus group taxon with Cichlasoma- and Aequidens like species) and '-ioides' from the Greek suffix '-eides', meaning like or similar, in reference to the appearance similar to the species of the genus Acara Heckel, 1840.
