Etymology: Australoheros: From the Latin word 'australis' meaning southern, and the name Heros, after the nominotypic genus of the Heroini tribe. Tribe;  tavaresi: Named for Felipe Tavares Autran, a student in Laboratório de Sistemática e Evolução de Peixes Teleósteos, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), Brazil, during the 1990’s. He first recognized this species as new in his unpublished monograph (Autran, 1995) on the "Cichlasoma" facetum species complex, under orientation of Wilson Costa. This study, although widely known among Brazilian ichthyologists, was never published (Ref. 89866).
