Etymology: Parmaturus: parma (L.), from parme (Gr.), small shield; oura (Gr.), tail, presumably referring to upper edge of caudal fin “armed with modified” scales (per Garman 1913) (See ETYFish); macmillani: In honor of ichthyologist Peter McMillan (b. 1955, note Latinization of “Mc” to “Mac”), who collected type and “many examples of undescribed or poorly known marine fish and invertebrate species” from deep waters off New Zealand (See ETYFish).
Eponymy: Peter John McMillan (d: 1955) is a Fisheries biologist who has a master’s degree in zoology. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
