Etymology: Birdsongichthys: Named for Dr Ray S. Birdsong, who contributed substantially to the knowledge on the systematics of the family Gobiidae, especially taxa from the tropical western Atlantic and eastern Pacific Oceans. the systematics of the family Gobiidae, especially taxa from the tropical western Atlantic and eastern Pacific Oceans. The root ‘ichthys’ is derived from the Greek ‘ikhthū́s’ (ιχθύς), fish.
