Thanks to everyone who responded... the meaning of perniciosus seems to be very clear in Latin, English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, etc..... "injurious, destructive, harmful, damaging, dangerous, detrimental, noxious, baneful, deleterious, or even swift and nimble" Apparently Cope (1874) thought it was a very bad fish :-) Should have looked before I asked, Regards, Mike Everhart http://www.oceansofkansas.com/Protosphyr.html
