Etymology: Urolophus: Greek, oura = tail + Greek, lophos = crest (Ref. 45335); deforgesi: Named for Bertrand Richer de Forges of the Institute de Recherche pour le Développemen, for promoting the recent exploration of the bathyal fauna off New Caledonia and for collecting valuable fish specimens from cruise surveys (Ref. 51067).
Eponymy: Dr Bertrand Richer-de-Forges (d: 1948) is a French carcinologist and marine biologist who (since 1984) has been based at ORSTOM, Noumea, New Caledonia. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
