The Icamiabas resembled the Amazons from Greek mythology, fighting with bows and arrows and forbidding the presence
of men inside their tribe (Medina, 1894).; camelierae:Named for Dr. Priscila Camelier, an outstanding ichthyologist, passionate teacher, and strong
women’s rights activist; noun in the genitive case..
