Etymology: Polyipnus: Greek, poly = a lot of + Greek, ipnos = lanterns.
Eponymy: Named after the CSIRO (Australian Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation) fisheries research vessel ‘Soela’, from which some of the holotypes were collected and which has contributed substantially to collections of fishes [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
