Etymology: Amazonichthys: Name from the Greek 'Amazon' (a race of warrior women) and 'ichthys' for fishes; referring to the indigenous Icamiabas that battled against Spanish troops led by Francisco Orellana in 1542 (who led an aggressive expedition into the Amazon region). The Icamiabas resembled the Amazons from Greek mythology, fighting with bows and arrows and forbidding the presence
of men inside their tribe (Medina, 1894)..
