Etymology: Eigenmannia: From Eigenmann, 1910, researcher of faunistic studies (Ref. 45335); besouro: The specific name besouro ('beetle' in Portuguese) is in honor of Manoel Henrique Pereira, known as Besouro Mangangá '‘The Mangangá Beetle'), a native of the Recôncavo region of Bahia, and a legendary figure in the Afro-Brazilian martial art capoeira. A noun in opposition.
Eponymy: Professor Dr Carl Henry Eigenmann (1863–1927) was a German-born American ichthyologist. [...] Manoel Henrique Pereira (1895–1924) was known by his nickname, Besouro Mangangá (The Mangangá Beetle). He came from the Recôncavo region of Bahia, Brazil (where this knifefish occurs), and was a legendary figure in the Afro-Brazilian martial art capoeira. (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
