Etymology: Boleophthalmus: Name from Greek, ßoƛɛ for ejected and 'ophthalmos' for eye; refers to species capability to rapidly raise their eyes above the level of their orbital cavities, as if the eyes were being ejected.
Eponymy: Dr Ray S Birdsong (1935–1995) was an American ichthyologist. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
