moeasdf:The Resurrecionist: Siren OceanusSiren oceanus? “Siren, the Ocean”? That is a bit strange to me. How about Siren oceanensis? (The whole taxonomic rank presentation here is wonky.)The Mammichthyes name interests me. I am assuming that the first part of the compound comes from Latin mamma, “breast." How about Mastichthyes?
