Etymology: Pseudobunocephalus: The generic name is a combination of the Greek word pseudes, meaning false or deceptive, plus the aspredinid genus Bunocephalus. It alludes to the fact that members of this genus have previously been mistaken for juveniles of other species.
Eponymy: Dr Hermann Friedrich AIbrecht von Ihering (sometimes Jhering) (1850–1930) was a German-Brazilian zoologist, malacologist and geologist. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
