Etymology: Apistogramma: Greek, apisto = uncertain + Greek, gramma = graphic signal (Ref. 45335); paulmuelleri: Named for the late Professor Emeritus Dr. Paul Müller , one of the leading biogeographers of recent decades, who made a number of significant contributions to our understanding of the origins of Neotropical cichlids, including the genus Apistogramma.
Eponymy: Dr Paul Müller (1940–2010) was a German herpetologist and zoographer who became Professor of Biology at the University of Trier. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
