Opisthoproctidae (Barreleyes or spookfishes)
Etymology: Monacoa: The name constructed by Whitley was without any etymological reason; however, it is likely referring to the state of Monaco, in which the research expedition that sampled the two syntypes originated.
Eponymy: Albert Honoré Charles Grimaldi (1848–1922), Albert I, Prince of Monaco was an oceanographer who founded Monaco’s Institut Océanographique. He also (1911) created the Monte Carlo Rally, an automobile race designed to attract tourists to Monaco. (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
