Revisions will proceed in the phylogenetic sequence as shown below. Part 2 comprises links to legacy HTML pages (with PDF options). Part 1 links to HTML pages of newly revised etymologies each page has a PDF option with illustrations and in many cases additional information not included in the HTML page. This Table of Contents is divided into two parts. Plus, newly revised etymologies are easily searched via a database. Each entry is being checked for accuracy and being revised to include more robust etymologies of Latin and Greek words. Names of new taxa and revalidated older names are continually being added.Īt present, The ETYFish Project is undergoing a top-to-bottom revision. The ETYFish Project provides name etymologies for every valid genus and species of Recent fish and fish-like vertebrate (plus select subgenera and subspecies in use by some ichthyologists). ![]()
