Etymology: Cambeva: Probably derived from the Tupi-Guarani, is a popular name for trichomycterid fishes in southern and south-eastern Brazil (Ref. 119381); occidentalis: Name 'occidentalis' from the Latin word meaning 'occidental', in reference to the type locality being the western-most record for Cambeva variegata complex (CVC).

Descrição suscinta
Chaves de identificação | Morfologia | Morfometria
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 2; Raios dorsais (total) : 8; Espinhos anais: 2; Raios anais : 5. This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following set of characters: 20 or 21 dorsal and 6-8 ventral caudal-fin rays; 25-27 interopercular odontodes and 21-24 premaxillary teeth; medial margin of the autopalatine nearly straight to slightly convex; sesamoid supraorbital with a lateral projection; anterior portion of the mesethmoid just posterior to cornu base relatively broad; dorsal process of the opercle stick-shaped; anterior portion of the preopercle not distinctively elongated; parurohyal foramen small; and posterior process of the parurohyal long, with a length about equal the lateral process length (Ref 138050).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated; Cross section: oval.
The species inhabits a shallow stream less than 50 cm in depth and approximately 4-5 m in width, characterized by moderate to sparse riparian cover consisting mainly of a thin line of bamboo and understory vegetation. The substrate is predominantly sandy, with sections of moderate flow lined with pebbles (Ref. 138050).
