Etymology: In honor of the first European (Johnston) to discover and report it

but later corrected it. According to the ICZN the original published name is
johnsoni and has not been petitioned to correct the miss-spelling. Regardless
the vast majority of technical and non-technical publications use johnstoni as Krefft intended. Which is unlike a similar error that occurred with the
American Alligator, Alligator mississippiensis but that was later appealed
and later corrected.
