Opistognathidae (Jawfishes)
Etymology: Opistognathus: Greek, opisthe = behind + Greek, gnathos = jaw (Ref. 45335); to the very elongate upper jaw of the type species of the genus, Opistognathus nigromarginatus (Ref. 128653); robinsi: Named after Dr. C. Richard Robins in recognition of his many and varied contributions to ichthyology (Ref. 26893).
Eponymy: Dr Charles Richard ‘Dick’ Robins (1928–2020) was an American systematic ichthyologist whom one etymology honoured as an ‘eelologist’; as well as a colleague, advisor and friend, for his contributions to the knowledge of fishes (including [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
