Etymology Not stated, uncertain. The specific epithet syrtis is a Latin noun meaning 'sandbank', and refers presumably to the habitat where the species was originally collected, a shallow water sandbank of fine sand, at Otago Harbour. Again, as in the case of sister species Paraboccardia acus, the epithet can be treated as an unchanging noun in apposition [details]
