Etymology: Eviota: No etymology given, suggested by Christopher Scharpt: from Latin 'eu' for 'true' and 'iota' for anything very small, in combination 'truly very small' referring to it as being the smallest vertebrate at the time it has benn described by Jenkins (thus, making the suggestion by Scharpt plausible.
Eponymy: Captain Uriel Sebree (1848–1922) was a US Navy commandant at the American Tutuila Naval Station (American Samoa). Through him the gunboat ‘Wheeling’ and its equipment were placed at the authors’ disposal. (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
