Etymology: williamsi: Named in honor of Jeffrey T. Williams, Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History, in recognition of his work on blennioid fi shes, including Starksia. Jeff’s field collecting efforts at Saba Bank, Tobago, and Turks and Caicos resulted in numerous specimens utilized in this study.
Eponymy: Edwin Chapin Starks (1867–1932) was an American ichthyologist who was an authority on the osteology of fish. [...] Dr Jeffrey Taylor ‘Jeff ’ Williams is Collection Manager, Ichthyology, USNM. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
