Aphaniidae (Oriental killifishes)
Etymology: Esmaeilius: Named for Hamid Reza Esmaeili (Shiraz) for his extensive contribution to the understanding of diversity within this genus.
Eponymy: Dr Hamid Reza Esmaeili is an Iranian biologist and ichthyologist at Shiraz University, Shiraz where he is full Professor of Ichthyology. [...] No explanation is given in the description, but possibly after Heckel’s mother Sophia. Others suggest it honours Princess Sophie of Bavaria (Sophie Friederike Dorothea Wilhelmine) (1805–1872).
