Etymology: smithvanizi: Named in honor of William F. Smith-Vaniz in recognition of his many contributions to our knowledge of the taxonomy of marine shorefishes and for collecting and photographing representatives of the new species at St. Croix (Ref. 50108).
Eponymy: Edwin Chapin Starks (1867–1932) was an American ichthyologist who was an authority on the osteology of fish. [...] Dr William Farr ‘Bill’ Smith-Vaniz (d: 1941) is a Research Associate of the Florida Museum of Natural History, researching into the diversity and evolutionary relationships of fishes.
