Etymology: Cambeva: Probably derived from the Tupi-Guarani, is a popular name for trichomycterid fishes in southern and south-eastern Brazil (Ref. 119381); babilonica: Name 'babilonica' in reference to the occurrence of a novel species in Serra da Babilonia, a part of the Serra da Canastra.

Dorsal spines (total): 2; Dorsal soft rays (total): 8; Anal spines: 2; Anal soft rays: 5. This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following set of characters: anterior portion of the preopercle distinctively narrow and long and parurohyal foramen large, rudimentary or lacking; 14-16 dorsal procurrent caudal-fin rays; 28-31 interopercular odontodes; 21-24 premaxillary teeth, and 23-25 dentary teeth; medial margin of the autopalatine nearly straight to slightly convex; sesamoid supraorbital without a lateral projection; anterior portion of the mesethmoid just posterior to cornu base relatively narrow; dorsal process of the opercle stick-shaped; and posterior process of the parurohyal shorter than half length of the parurohyal lateral process; and S4 pore placed more posteriorly, nearer S6 pore than S3 pore (Ref 138050)
Body shape (shape guide): elongated; Cross section: oval.
