Etymology: Andriashevicottus: Because of Anatoly Petrovich Andriashev, Russian naturalist, 1910 + Greek, kottos = a fish without identificaction; megacephalus: From the Greek megas meaning large, and the Greek cephale meaning head, in reference to its large head.
Eponymy: Professor Dr Anatoly Petrovich Andriyashev (1910–2009) was a Russian marine biologist. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
