In human culture
The species is named in honor of American ichthyologist Donald C. Taphorn (b. 1951), in recognition of over four decades of contributions to Neotropical ichthyology, his extensive role in training South American ichthyologists (including the authors), and his participation in the expedition during which the holotype was collected.
