Etymology: Phoxacromion: Name derived from the Greek 'phoxos' for pointed and 'akromion' meaning point of the shoulderblade, referring to the characteristic modification of cleithrum in the type species; kaneharai: Named for H. Kanehara, who provided valuable information and underwater photographs of the species taken from its type locality.
