Etymology of specific epithet |
Derived from Latin dis, meaning not, and contentus, meaning satisfied, thus regretful, in allusion to the córrego Arrependido, type locality of the species. The córrego Arrependido, meaning regretful, received its name after the supposed shift in its direction. Apparently, the córrego Arrependido earlier flowed to the south and was a tributary to the rio São Marcos, itself a tributary of the upper rio Paraná. Due to a headwater capture, the córrego Arrependido shifted its course around 16°16'29" S 47°20'53" W, and now runs to the North and is a tributary to the rio Preto, itself a tributary to the
rio São Francisco.
