Etymology: Dysomma: Greek, dys, dyo = two + Greek, omma = eye; robinsorum: Named for C.H. Robins and C.R. Robins, in recognizing their enormous contribution to eel systematics.
Eponymy: Dr Charles Richard ‘Dick’ Robins (1928–2020) was an American systematic ichthyologist whom one etymology honoured as an ‘eelologist’; as well as a colleague, advisor and friend, for his contributions to the knowledge of fishes (including [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
