Question

I am wondering what the genus "Thoricthys" means, as I am doing a research project on Thoricthys Meeki, and I am wondering what it means.

there you go, a complete explanation of the genus Thorichthys. In particular at the beginning of the 7th paragraph it says:

The meaning of the word Thorichthys is defined by Meek as a leaping fish.
