Etymology: Curculionichthys: Derived from the from the Latin 'curculionem' (elongated snout) and from the Greek 'ichthys' (fishes), in reference to the relatively elongated snouts of the fish species included in this genus.;  sagarana: The specific name sagarana is derived from two words, 'saga' of Germanic origin, meaning heroic song, and 'rana' from Tupi-Guarani language, meaning similarity. The name is in reference to the book of a Brazilian author João Guimarães Rosa published in 1946 about the history of people from Minas Gerais State living in the region of Rio das Velhas..
