Etymology: Lubbockichthys: After Roger Lubbrock, Cambridge University; he died in Brazil in a car accident in 1981. He described and discovered many species in the Rea Sea in 1970 and early 80´s; myersi: Named for Robert F, Myers.
Eponymy: Dr Hugh Roger Lubbock (1951–1981) was an English marine biologist at Cambridge University. [...] Robert F ‘Rob’ Myers (d: 1953) is a coral-reef marine biologist and underwater photographer, who collected the dottyback holotype. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Short description
Κλείδες προσδιορισμού | Μορφολογία | Μορφομετρία
Ραχιαίες άκανθες (συνολικά) : 2; Μαλακές ραχιαίες ακτίνες (συνολικά) : 26; Εδρικές άκανθες: 2; Μαλακές εδρικές ακτίνες: 15; Σπόνδυλοι: 32. This species is distinguished from its congeners in having a very slender body, with greatest body depth 15.8 % SL and depth at dorsal-fin origin 15.3 % SL). It also has a higher number of vertebrae (14 + 18) (Ref. 76877).
The species was observed (by R. Myers) to hover within half a meter of the side of the cave (the cave with a large chimney with 3-4 m opening in a shelf about 20 m, and a large opening in the adjacent wall from about 36 to at least 50 m). Seeks refuge (darts) into a hole when approached within 2-3 meters (Ref. 76877).
