Etymology: Boehlkenchelys: Because of Dr. James Böhlke + Greek, enchelys,-yos = eel (Ref. 45335); longidentata: Named for its long, needle-like teeth.
Eponymy: James Erwin Böhlke (1930–1982) and his wife Eugenia Louisa Böhlke née Brandt (1929–2001) were both ichthyologists who worked at the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, where he was Curator of Ichthyology (1954–1982). [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
