| Etymology of specific epithet |
Named after the god of the sun, music and healing in Greek and Roman mythology. The extremely slender form of the new species is reminiscent of the arrow that was Apollo’s favoured weapon and predominant symbol, and the yellow cast of the body and fins and the rounded shape of the lateral markings evoke the sun that was one of Apollo’s primary aspects.
