Comment 
EtymologyPresumably named after the Latin rostrum plus the suffix -alis (relating to). The reference to the snout is unclear, as de Vis makes no special mention of the snout in this species, although it, as in several other related species, is relatively long. (G. Shea, pers. comm., 9 Feb 2024)
