Etymology The etymology of 'Linopherus' is unknown. It looks to be a compound with a masculine ending, but possible derivations have not been found. Quatrefages left the suffix of Amphinome incarunculata Peters, 1854 unchanged when he created the combination. Members of the genus first named in Eurythoe, a feminine name, also retained their original suffix when recombined. Whether this is accidental or deliberate is uncertain. [details]
