The genus Holopristis was first erected by Carl H. Eigenmann in 1903, where it was noted to be related to Hemigrammus and distinguished by its dentition.[1] The chosen name was created from ὅλος (hólos) "entire" and πρίστης (prístēs) meaning sawyer, the profession (one who saws), not a surname and alludes to the teeth of the new type being present all along the jaw.[2]
The name was then relegated to a synonym of Hemigrammus and was only revalidated in 2024,[3] though this new system has yet to find wide acceptance.
