Etymology

T. Harvey Johnston &

Oscar Werner Tiegs Oscar Werner Tiegs FRS FAA (12 March 1897 – 5 November 1956) was an Australian zoologist whose career spanned the first half of the 20th century. His contribution to the division of the phylum arthropoda into two parts, one including insect ...

, who created the genus in 1922, did not formally explain the etymology of the new name. However, their definition of the new genus "disc well developed, with the accessory locomotory disc (squamodisc) peculiarly modified in such a way as to present numerous concentric rows consisting each of a pair of laterally elongated lamellae" shows that the name refers to the lamellae of the squamodisc (an attachment organ). Such an organ is now called a

lamellodisc Lamellodiscs are epidermal structures, which are typical of and found only in certain monogeneans of the family Diplectanidae. There are, typically, two lamellodiscs, one ventral and one dorsal, located on the haptor of the monogenean. Lamellodis ...

Hosts

Hosts of ''Lamellodiscus'' species are mainly sparids and lethrinids, with very rare cases reported from centracanthids, pomacanthids and pomacentrids.
