Etymology: Synchiropus: Greek, syn, symphysis = grown together + Greek, cheir = hand + Greek, pous = foot (Ref. 45335).
Eponymy: Dr Judson de Land of Philadelphia, “to whom I am indebted for American fishes”, seems to have been one of Fowler’s large circle of specimen-providers. By the time of the description, Fowler refers to him as ‘the late’ Dr Judson de Land. (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Estimates based on models
Preferred temperature (Ref.
123201): 10.7 - 13.9, mean 12.6 °C (based on 35 cells).
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00794 (0.00362 - 0.01742), b=2.81 (2.63 - 2.99), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Trophic level (Ref.
69278): 3.5 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
120179): Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
