Gender, form, and etymology
Etymology:

In the legend of how the Iguazu Falls were created, Tarobá, a young warrior, and his beloved Naipí were punished by M’Boi, the serpent god, son of Tupã. In his anger against Tarobá and Naipí, who were trying to escape on a canoe, M’Boi dug the riverbed, forming these astonishing falls. The specific epithet honors Tarobá, this curious legend and all the native people of the trinational region between Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay.
