  Etymology of specific epithet  
Named for Maiandros, the god of the winding Maeander River in Phrygia (currently known as the Büyük Menderes River in Turkey), son of Oceanus and his sister Tethys. The English word 'meander', a winding, crooked, or involved course, is in allusion to the zigzag pattern of grey to blue lines on the body; a noun in apposition.
