Replacement name for Mollienesia petenensis Günther 1866 (not Poecilia petenensis Günther in same work).
|
| Etymology of generic noun |
Greek, poikilos = with a lot of colours (Ref. 45335).
|
| Etymology of specific epithet |
Name from Greek 'Kykesis' for 'a mixing', refering to the confusing mixture of homonyms,
caused by the double recognition Poecilia petenensis and Mollienesia petenensis as congeneric species.
