Etymology: Pollimyrus: Because of Dr. Max Poll, ichthyologist + Greek, myros, -ou = the male of the morey eel; marianne: Named in honor of Marianne Elfriede Kramer, mother of Bernd Kramer.
Eponymy: Dr Max Fernand Leon Poll (1908–1991) was a Belgian ichthyologist, and ‘connoisseur of the fish fauna’. [...] Marianne Elfriede Kramer (1914–2000) was the mother of senior author Bernd Kramer. (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
