Etymology: Caspiomyzon: Caspio, from the Caspian Sea basin, where C. wagneri is endemic; myzon (Gr.), to suck (borrowed from Petromyzon), referring to their suctorial behavior. (See ETYFish);  wagneri: In honor of Nicolai Petrivitsch Wagner (1829-1907), Kessler’s colleague at the Zoological Institute in St. Petersburg, Russia; Kessler described this lamprey from a specimen in Wagner’s collection. (See ETYFish).

Issue
Berg (1931) suggested that this species consists of two races; a normal form (forma typica) and a smaller praecox form (Ref. 89241).
