  Comment  
Originally as hisutch; kisutch is generally used (but probably incorrectly, but should be retained following the 4th edition (1999) of the Code of Zoological Nomenclature), apparently after Pennant's name *kysutch* (Ref. 84081).
  Etymology of generic noun  
Greek, onyx, -ychos = nail + Greek, rhyngchos = snout (Ref. 45335).
  Etymology of specific epithet  
Most probably a typo in the emendada p720 for kisutch, which is the vernacular name of this fish in Kamtchatka (Ref. 1998).
