Etymology: Kumba: Named for the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, whose research vessel Sarsia dredged the type species; calvifrons: From the Latin 'calvus' meaning bald, and 'frons' = forehead, in reference to the naked snout and forehead of the species.
Eponymy: KUMBA is an anagram of the initial letters of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom. (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
