Name

edit

Protanguilla Johnson, Ida & Miya, 2012

  • Gender: [feminine]
  • Type species: Protanguilla palau Johnson, Ida & Sakaue, 2012
    • Fixation: original designation [see p. 936] [and monotypy]

Note: Appeared first as Protoanguilla in electronic version (not nomenclaturally available, also would have been preoccupied) name changed to Protanguilla in hard copy version. Name changed because †Protoanguilla is preoccupied in fossil eels.

Etymology: From the Greek protos, first, and the Latin anguilla, eel, in reference to the early divergence of the genus among anguilliforms.
