Etymology: Synodus: Greek, syn, symphysis = grown together + Greek, odous = teeth (Ref. 45335); vityazi: Named for the research vessel Vityaz II, for its great contribution to deep-sea fish research and for collecting the type series described in present study.
Eponymy: The Russian Research Vessel ‘Vityaz’ (also spelled Vitiaz) is famous for many cruises, during which the holotypes of several of the above fish were caught. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
