CommentFor illustrations see Stejneger, 1904; Schmidt, 1928; Rivero, 1978; Schwartz and Henderson, 1985.
Ecomorph class: trunk-crown.

Species group: Ctenonotus cristatellus species group (fide NICHOLSON et al. 2012). 
EtymologyNamed after Dr. Barton Warren Evermann (1853-1932), a school-teacher (1876-1886) and a student at Indiana University, where he was awarded a doctorate (1891). He worked for the Bureau of Fishes in Washington (1891-1914) and lectured on zoology at Cornell (1900-1903), Yale (1903-1906), and later, Stanford, where he became Director of the Museum, California Academy of Sciences (1914).
