Dactyloscopidae (Sand stargazers)
Etymology: Myxodagnus: Greek, myxos = mucus + Greek, agnos = pure (Ref. 45335); walkeri: Named after Boyd W. Walker in recognition of his fieldwork which produced much of the present material and many other eastern Pacific dactyloscopids (Ref. 39697).
Eponymy: Professor Dr Boyd Wallace Walker (1917–2001) was an American fisheries biologist; ultimately Professor Emeritus of Zoology-Fisheries at the University of California, Los Angeles, where he worked for over three decades (1949–1980). [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
