Taxonomy and naming
Phallostethus dunckeri is the type species of the genus Phallostethus.[4] It was described by Charles Tate Regan in 1913 with a type locality of the Muar River, Johor in Malaysia.[5] 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.[6]
