Nemacheilidae (Brook loaches)
Etymology: Nemacheilus: Greek, nema, -atos = filament + Greek, cheilos = lip (Ref. 45335); cleopatra: Named after the brillant Queen of Egypt, Cleopatra (69BC-30BC).
Eponymy: Cleopatra (69–30 BC) was Queen of Egypt (52–30 BC), probably best remembered today for her role in Shakespeare’s: Antony and Cleopatra. She was a legendary beauty, leading the authors to name this ‘elegant’ fish after her. (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
