 * Actinopterygii (ray-finned fishes) > Siluriformes (Catfish) > Ictaluridae (North American freshwater catfishes) Etymology: Satan: The prince of darkness. Hube liked to name cave fishes with diabolic names based on the idea of hell being underground (Ref. 45335); eurystomus: From the Greek words Satan=Devil or Satan; eury=broad, wide; stomus referring to the mouth (Ref. 79012).  "Hube" is Carl Hubbs.  72.182.33.219 (talk) 21:12, 24 May 2015 (UTC) Eric
