Etymology: Aluterus: Name from Greek meaning not free or detached, referring to the pelvis that does not form a spiny project (as it does in triggerfish) (R. Chandler, pers. Comm. 10/2014).
Eponymy: Jean-Pierre Heudelot (1802–1837) was a French botanist, agriculturalist, plant collector and explorer in Guinea, Senegal, Madagascar and Cape Verde Islands (1825–1837). [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
