The first examples of this fish were misidentified by Staiger as ''[[Holcomycteronus profundissimus|Bassogigas profundissimus]]'', before being described as a new species by Jørgen G. Nielsen in 1977.[{{cite book | title = Deep Atlantic: Life, Death, and Exploration in the Abyss | author = Ellis, R. | publisher = Alfred A. Knopf, Inc. | location = New York | year = 1997 | isbn = 1-55821-663-4 }}] The species name refers to the research ship [[HMS Leith (U36)#Post war|HDMS ''Galathea'']], which captured the first specimens during the [[Galathea expeditions#Second expedition|second Galathea expedition]]. |
