Beloniformes (Needle fishes) >
Exocoetidae (Flyingfishes)
Etymology: Prognichthys: Taken from Progne, name of Philomela´s sister, transformed into a swallow in the Greek mithology + Greek, ichthys = fish (Ref. 45335).
Eponymy: Not a true eponym, Progne (sometimes Procne – see above) was metamorphosed into a swallow. Pliny likened flyingfish to the swallow, and the genus name can be translated as ‘swallow-fish’. Glafira Nikiforovna ‘Tanya’ Pokhil’skaya worked in the Department of Nekton and the Laboratory of Oceanic Ichthyofauna (Russian Academy of Sciences) (1948–1990). Parin has used her ‘high-quality’ (translation) illustrations in many of his papers. (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
