Etymology: Acanthobunocephalus: Greek, akantha = thorn + Greek, boynos = prominent + Greek, kephale = head (Ref. 45335); scruggsi: 'scruggsi', i.e., named after Earl Scruggs, a prominent banjo player. This is an allusion to the common name 'banjo catfishes' and the remarkable resemblance of this species to the musical instrument (Ref. 128881).
