Etymology: Siphamia: A Swazi word, siphama, for a fish; brevilux: The species is named brevilux (Latin: “short-light”) with reference to the length of its light organ,
which is the shortest for the genus and an essential character for separating this species from its nearest relatives (Ref. 90035).

Estimates based on models
Fylogenetische diversiteitsindex (Ref.

50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01479 (0.00690 - 0.03171), b=3.09 (2.91 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
