Etymology:
Opistognathus:
Greek, opisthe = behind + Greek, gnathos = jaw (Ref. 45335); to the very elongate upper jaw of the type species of the genus,
Opistognathus nigromarginatus
(Ref.

)
;
nothus:
From the Latin 'nothus' meaning false or counterfeit, alludes to the erroneous initial belief that the female holotype was the sexually dimorphic counterpart of
O. melachasme
males; noun in apposition (Ref.
26893
)
.
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecology
Marine; demersal; depth range 92 - 100 m (Ref.
