Taxonomy
It was described as Platypoecilus perugiae in 1906 by Barton Warren Evermann and Howard Walton Clark with a type locality given as a small stream in the San Francisco Mountains of the Dominican Republic.[3] The specific name honours the Italian ichthyologist Albert Perugia (1847-1897) of the Museo Civico di Storia Naturale di Genova in recognition of his work on West Indian fishes.[4]
