Etymology: Eptatretus: hepta (Gr.), seven; tretos (Gr.), perforated (i.e., with holes), referring to seven gill apertures on what would later be described as Homea banksii (=E. cirrhatus) [range within genus is 6-14 pairs of gill apertures]. (See ETYFish);  deani: In honor of American ichthyologist Bashford Dean (1867-1928), American Museum of Natural History, for his work on the embryology of E. stoutii. (See ETYFish).
