In human culture
The species epithet "biffi" is derived from the nickname of Eldredge Bermingham, an ichthyologist and ornithologist affiliated with the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, whom the authors credit with making important contributions to the biogeography of fish in the neotropical regions.
