Etymology: Hephaestus: Taken from Haphaistos, the God of fire in the Greek mythology; 1658 (Ref. 45335).
Eponymy: In Greek mythology, Hephaestus was the god of fire, blacksmiths, metal-workers and other artisans. De Vis gives no reason for his choice of name. The Corydoras was so named due to the red (fiery) colour of its fins and parts of its body. Lucien Sophie Albert Marie von Römer (1873–1965) was a Dutch physician and botanist. He joined an expedition to New Guinea and later settled in the Dutch East Indies where he worked as a public health specialist. (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
