  Comment  
Three syntypes of Distichodus fasciolatus (MRAC 28, MRAC 63 and MRAC 102) were found to be Distichodus antonii (Ref. 96324).
  Etymology of generic noun  
Greek, di = two + Greek, stix, stichos = line, row (Ref. 45335).
  Etymology of specific epithet  
The species name "fasciolatus" is derived from the Latin word "fascia", meaning "band, bandage, girdle, zone, strip, stripe" with "fasciola" as a diminutive and most probably refers to the well-marked transverse bars on the flanks (Ref. 96324).
