Etymology: Matsubaraea: Because of Matsubara, icthyologist in scorpenoid fishes. He was cited by Hilgendorf, 1880, and named after Shinnosuke Matsubara, director of Imperial Fisheries in Tokyo.
Eponymy: Dr Kiyomatsu Matsubara (1907–1968) was originally called Kiyomatsu Sakamoto but on marrying he took his wife’s name as the family surname. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
