Etymology: Priapichthys: Taken from Priapus, the Greek, and Roman god of procreation in the mithology and also = a phallus; diminutive + Greek, ichthys = fish (Ref. 45335); puetzi: Named in honor of the collector Mr. W. Pütz, Würselen, Germany (Ref. 42984).
Eponymy: This is not a true eponym as it is after Priapus, the Greek god of fertility. [...] Wilfried Pütz (d: 1940) of Würselen, Germany, is an aquarist. He collected in the field with the junior author, Vollrad Etzel. (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
