Derivation of name Apistogramma



This isn't the most burning question in the world, but does anyone know the
etymological meaning of the name Apistogramma? As far as I can make out, it
seems to mean something like "untrustworthy/unreliable
letter/character/marking." Could this have something to do with the fishes'
various body markings?
