Etymology of generic noun |
The suffix -opsis, from the ancient Greek 'view, appearance', is added to the epithet "Salaria" to highlight its apparent, but misleading, morphological similarity to the blenniid genus Salaria Forsskål, 1775 (Ref. 128181). |
Etymology of specific epithet |
The species name atlantica has been selected because its range covers the Sebou River basin in Morocco that drains into the Atlantic slope (Ref. 89850). |
