Etymology: Monognathus: Greek, monos = one + Greek, gnathos = jaw (Ref. 45335); herringi: Named for Peter J. Herring who was of great help to the authors by collecting and preserving Monognathus material on board the "Discovery".
Eponymy: Dr Peter John Herring is an oceanographer and deep-sea biologist, whose bachelor’s degree and doctorate were both awarded by Cambridge. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
