Etymology: Congrogadus: Latin, conger = conger + Latin, gadus = a fish, perhaps cod (Ref. 45335); amplimaculatus: Name from the Latin 'amplus' (= large in size) and 'maculatus' (= spotted or full of spots) referring to the large number of large pale spots on the body; should be treated as a noun in apposition (Ref. 675).
