Etymology: Atelomycterus: ateles (Gr.), imperfect, unfilled or exempt; mycteros (Gr.), nostril, referring to lack of posterior nasal valve (See ETYFish); macleayi: Patronym not identified, probably in honor of William Macleay (1820-1891), Scottish-Australian politician and naturalist, who published many papers on the fihes of Australia (See ETYFish).
Eponymy: Sir William John Macleay (1820–1891) was a Scottish medical student who followed his uncle Alexander to Sidney (1838), where he became an all-round naturalist. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
