Cetomimidae (Flabby whalefishes)
Etymology: Danacetichthys: Greek, da, za = an aumentative particle + Greek, ketos = whale, marine monster + Greek, ichthys = fish.
Eponymy: The succession of Danish research vessels named ‘Dana’ seem to have been greatly favoured by describers of fish, and often the etymology includes: “…from which the holotype was collected. [...] This is not a true eponym as it is named after a ship. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
