Etymology: Cambeva: Probably derived from the Tupi-Guarani, is a popular name for trichomycterid fishes in southern and south-eastern Brazil (Ref. 119381); alphabelardense: Nam 'alphabelardense' from the Greek first letter 'alpha' and Portuguese word for people born in Abelardo Luz municipality 'abelardense', in allusion to the first new species described for this area.

Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following set of characters: a small species, maximum recorded adult size 46.4 mm SL; four pelvic fin rays present; posterior nostril about equidistant from anterior nostril and from orbit; a compact broad autopalatine, its width about equal to its length excluding anterior cartilage and postero-lateral process; anterior broad and rounded projection on the interopercle present; five pectoral-fin rays; six or seven opercular odontodes; 20-23 premaxillary teeth; 24-25 dentary teeth; jaw teeth always pointed; largest rays of the dorsal and anal fins longer than the respective fin bases; dorsal and anal fins rounded; head width 83.5-91.3% of the head length; interorbital length 27.0-31.2%; mesethmoid robust, its width at the base of cornua about four fifths of autopalatine width; and metapterygoid deeper than long (Ref. 138850).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated; Cross section: oval.
