Geotriidae (Southern lampreys)
Etymology: Geotria: Etymology not explained, although three possibilities, all problematical, have been proposed: (1) from the Greek geotragia, “eating of earth-like substances,” referring to how this lamprey, like other lampreys, uses its suctorial mouth to attach itself to submerged rocks and stones, thus creating the impression that it is feeding on the earth (problem: geotragia does not mean “earthy,” as in rocks and minerals, but “products of the earth,” such as grains and vegetables; (2) geo- (Gr.), earth, and atrium (L.), room, referring to this lamprey’s nest, presumably made of stones and pebbles assembled by one or both parents (problem: nest-building, while known in other river lampreys, was probably not known to Gray in 1851 and has not been documented for this species); (3) a variation of #2, proposed by Meagher (2010), referring to its discovery in underground chambers, in which it survives dry periods (problem: G. australis does not, nor does any other lamprey, aestivate, nor did Gray indicate it was discovered underground, although he did speculate whether the pouch was an adaptation to the “long drought of the Australian rivers”). See EthyFish.org for more details (See ETYFish); macrostoma: macro-, from makros (Gr.), large; stoma (Gr.), mouth (but used here as an adjective, mouthed), presumably referring to greatly expanded oral disc of spawning adults (See ETYFish).
Taxonomic Remarks
Previously synonymized with Geotria australis Gray, 1851. See Ref. 125540 for explanations about the resurrection from Geotria australis.

简单描述
检索表 | 型态特徵 | 形态测量图
This species is distinguished from G. australis by having a second dorsal fin connected with the caudal fin by a low skin fold (vs. separate), and by the position of the cloaca posterior to the origin of the second dorsal fin in immature and mature adults (cloaca anterior to or under the origin of the second dorsal fin); while the position of fins and cloaca of mature G. macrostoma remains similar to that of juvenile and sub-adults, in spawning adults of G. australis the separation between the second dorsal fin and the caudal fin becomes reduced to a notch (Ref. 125560).
Cross section: oval.
Length of sub-adult individuals 41.2-62.9 cm TL (Ref. 125560).
