Etymology: Ptychochromis: Greek, ptyx, = fold + Greek, chromis = a fish, perhaps a perch (Ref. 45335); loisellei: Named for Paul V. Loiselle, who collected the type series, in recognition of his many contributions to the understanding and conservation of Madagascar's freshwater fishes (Ref. 57663).
Eponymy: Dr Paul V Loiselle is Emeritus Curator of Freshwater Fishes at the New York Aquarium and a very enthusiastic aquarist. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
