Etymology: Talismania: Persian, tilism and taken after Greek, telesma, teleo = to make a sacrifice, and after, talisman; bussingi: Named for W. Bussing.
Eponymy: William ‘Bill’ A. Bussing (1933–2014) was an American ichthyologist at the School of Biology, Universidad de Costa Rica where he taught for over four decades, retiring as Professor Emeritus (1991). Military service in Korea interrupted his education [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
