Etymology: Rhinolepadichthys: The suffix 'rhino', meaning nose, in combination with the genus Lepadichthys, refers to the pointed snout in members of this genus, which distinguishes the new genus from Lepadichthys (sensu stricto).
Eponymy: Dr Phillip Clarence Heemstra (1941–2019) was an American/South African marine ichthyologist and scientific diver. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Descripción breve
Claves de identificación | Morfología | Morfometría
Radios blandos dorsales (total) : 10; Radios blandos anales: 9. This species is distinguished from other members of the L. lineatus complex by the following set of characters: body comparatively deep, its depth 15.0- 17.1 (mean 15.9) % SL; adhesive disc is elliptical, its length and width 17.5-21.5 (19.3) and 11.8-15.2 (13.4) % SL, respectively, with ratio of length to width 1.30-1.54; anus is somewhat anterior, pre-anus length and disc to anus length 60.2=66.0 (64.0) and 22.8-27.5 (24.7) % SL, respectively; snout tip is directed somewhat downward, horizontal level usually between lower margins of eye and eye lens (lateral view); no yellow dots on body (Ref. 129525).
Cross section: oval.
