Etymology: Pseudoscopelus: Greek, pseudes = false + Greek, skopelos = a lantern fish (Ref. 45335). Lütken did not recognize the presence of photophores on the body, confusing them with pores, but referred to a genus of lanternfish (Scopelus now Myctophum) when he named the genus (Ref. 85782);  bothrorrhinos: Name derived from the Greek 'bothros' (trench or pit) and 'rhinos' (nose or snout), in reference to the concave tip of the snout..
