Name

Halirages stappersi d'Udekem d'Acoz, 2012: 20, figs 10-12

Holotype: RBINS, I.G. 8749, INV. 101145, ♂, 20 mm (pieces dissected out by Stappers not present).

Type locality: RV Belgica, 1907, Kara Sea, stn 132, 71°03'N 057°48'E, 207 m.

Etymology: Dedicated to the memory of Jean Hubert Louis Stappers (1883-1916), who collected the holotype of the species during the Arctic Campaign of 1907 of the Duc d'Orléans on the RV Belgica (see Barr 2010) and described it accurately, but under the name of Halirages elegans Norman, 1882. The name is a genitive.
