Etymology: Arnoglossus: Greek, aros, -oy = lamb + Greek, glossa = tongue (Ref. 45335).
Eponymy: These genera and species are named after ‘Thor’, the first Danish research vessel specifically equipped for oceanic scientific research (named after the Norse god of thunder). [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
