Etymology

The common name of this species - "Misspelled blenny" - derives from the fact that when Clark Hubbs initially published the description of this species he named it "L. soccorroensis" after the location from which the type specimen was collected - Socorro Island. However, a species named after Socorro Island should be named "socorroensis" and thus the blenny was "misspelled".^[3]
