Oneirodidae (Dreamers)
Etymology: Spiniphryne: Latin, 'spina' or ' spinula' = thorn or spine + Greek, 'phryne' = toad (suggesting a "spiny toad") (Ref. 86949).
Eponymy: ‘Gladisfen’ was a ship built in the 1880s as a New York harbour tugboat. It enjoyed a new lease of life as Beebe’s scientific research vessel in Bermuda (early 1930s). The dreamer holotype was taken ‘six miles south of Nonsuch Island, Bermuda’. (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
