Etymology: Maurolicus: Greek,mauros, -os, -on = dark + Greek,lykos = wolf (Ref. 45335).
Eponymy: Francesco Maurolico (1494–1575) was an Italian mathematician and astronomer from Messina, Sicily. [...] Nikolay Pavlovich Kornilov and his wife Galina Nikolayevna Kornilova are fisheries scientists. They were honoured for their help receiving samples, organising research expeditions, and sharing data on the ecology and distribution of deep-sea fishes. (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
