  Comment  
Should be excluded from the synonymy of G. viridis, since the original description mentions the presence of scales on the body, which are absent in Gymnelus (Ref. 123905).
  Etymology of generic noun  
Gymnelopsis = Gymnel(us) + Greek suffix -opsis, like (that is, similar to), resembling, appearance. Gymnelopsis is like genus Gymnelus (E. Spencer, pers.comm. 09/13).
