Etymology: Ahlia: Name after Jonas Nicolas Ahl, of Upsala. His thesis "De
Muræna et Ophichtho" " modestly offered for the consideration of the

("Carolus Vet. Thunberg") in 1789, furnishes the beginning of the
systematic arrangement of the eels.
Eponymy: Dr Jonas Nicholaus Ahl (1765–1817) was a physician and one of Linnaeus’ students. He published his thesis: De Muraena et Ophichth (1789) which according to Jordan’s dedication “furnishes the beginning of our systematic arrangement of the eels.” (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
