Etymology: Campellolebias: Named after Gilberto Campello that made expeditions in Brazil + Greek, lebias, lebiou = a kind of fish.
Eponymy: Gilberto Campello Brasil, a Brazilian aquarist. (See Gilberto) Dr Bruce Jay Turner (d: 1945) is an American ichthyologist who supplied the first specimens of this killifish to the authors. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
