Etymology of specific epithet |
This species is named senoui in honour of Dr. Hiroshi Senou of the Kanagawa Prefectural Museum of Natural History. Dr. Senou, in collaboration with various Japanese colleagues, has been largely responsible for a marked increase in our knowledge of tropical reef fishes occurring in southern Japan and the adjacent Ryukyu Archipelago. He also collected and photographed the holotype and most paratypes of this species. (Ref. 90035). |
