Etymology: Etmopterus: Greek, ethmos, -ou = sieve or ethmoides bone + Greek, pteron = wing, fin (Ref. 45335).
Eponymy: Dr Charles Richard ‘Dick’ Robins (1928–2020) was an American systematic ichthyologist whom one etymology honoured as an ‘eelologist’; as well as a colleague, advisor and friend, for his contributions to the knowledge of fishes (including [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
