Entomocorus radiosus Etymology of species name
Posted: 07 Nov 2010, 17:02
Hi all.
Regarding the etymology of the species name in [Auchenipteridae]: The following is from the original description:
Etymology.—The specific epithet of E. radiosus is
from the Latin radius, meaning rod, fin-ray, and
-osus, having the nature or quality of something,
usually in fullness or abundance, in allusion to
the many anal-fin rays presented by this species.
Also, the citation for Copeia under the species account would best be as follows: Copeia, 2006(3), pp. 412-422.
