Etymology: Farlowella: Because of W. G. Farlow, from Harvard University (Ref. 45335); azpelicuetae: Name 'azpelicuetae' in honor of Dr. María de las Mercedes Azpelicueta for her prominent contributions to ichthyology, especially to the systematics of Argentinian fishes.
Eponymy: Dr William Gilson Farlow (1844–1919) was an American physician and botanist who specialised in algae. [...] Dr María de las Mercedes Azpelicueta is Principal Investigator in the Vertebrate Zoology department of the University of La Plata, having been a researcher there for many years (1976–2015).
