Etymology: Priolepis: Greek, prio = to saw + Greek,lepis = scale (Ref. 45335); nocturna: Name from Latin nocturnus meaning 'of the night', presumed to refer to Smith's belief (1956:725) that this species lives a '.. Sheltered life in coral, almost certainly where the light is of low intensity.'; considered an adjectival form of nox and cannot be regarded as a noun (Ref. 9018).
