The generic name Prenda "designates a young woman from Rio Grande do Sul, one of the States from where type specimens were obtained. Prenda is therefore used here in a figurative sense in honor of this well-regarded folklore figure."[1] The specific name "refers to Clarissa, a main character and also the title of the first novel of Érico Veríssimo".[1]
