Etymology: guanambi: Named after the city of Guanambi, around which vast plain areas flooded by the Caunaúba de Dentro River drainage are inhabited by five endemic annual fish species, including Hypsolebias guanambi, thus constituting an important area of endemism for the Rivulidae. The specific name is derived from the Tupi-Guarani, meaning hummingbird..
