Taxonomy and naming

Phallostethus dunckeri is the type species of the genus Phallostethus. It was described by Charles Tate Regan in 1913 with a type locality of the Muar River, Johor in Malaysia. Regan honoured the German ichthyologist Georg Duncker (1870–1953) of the Zoologisches Museum Hamburg, Duncker initially wrote about this species in 1904 but he was too busy to write a description so he passed some of his specimens on to Regan for him to describe.
