Name

Holotype: ROM 84731. Paratypes: ROM 84721 (1), 84725 (2), 84761 (1), 93605 (ex-ROM 84731) (40); AMS I.4607-001 (1, 4); CAS 234443 (1, 4); USNM 406708 (2, 3).

Type locality: Palau, Hatohobei State, Helen Reef, southern margin near east end, 02°47'56"N, 131°45'20"E, cave (ca 15 m wide, 4 m high) and surrounding area with sand/silt floor, floor at 27 m, 24–32 m depth.

Etymology: This species is named for Susan L. Jewett who previously recognized this species as undescribed from specimens taken by the Smithsonian Philippine Expedition in 1978. During the 1970’s and 1980’s she, sometimes under the name Karnella, and E.A. Lachner described many Eviota species new to science and laid the foundation for the study of this genus.
