Etymology: Isogomphodon: iso-, from isos (Gr.), equal; gomphos (Gr.), nail; odon (Gr.), tooth, referring to how teeth are equally fastened, i.e., claviform and straight in both jaws (See ETYFish); oxyrhynchus: oxys (Gr.), sharp; rhynchus (L.), snout, referring to its elongated, pointed and narrow snout [authorship often attributed to Müller & Henle, who published Valenciennes’ description] (See ETYFish).
