Etymology: Briggsia: Named for Dr. John C. Briggs, in recognition of his major contributions to clingfish systematics; hastingsi: Briggsia is named in honor of Dr. John C. Briggs, in recognition of his major contributions to
clingfish systematics.
hastingsi is named in honor of Dr. Philip A. Hastings, the thesis advisor of the first author, who initially aroused the.
Eponymy: John C ‘Jack’ Briggs (1920–2018) was a prominent scholar and a pioneer in the field of biogeography where his contributions are widely recognised.
