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. 128653); nigripinnis: Name 'nigripinnis' from the Latin words 'niger' and 'pinna', meaning 'black,dark' and 'fin', in reference to the essentially black dorsal, anal, and pelvic fins that characterize the new species.
