Thryssa hamiltonii, or Hamilton's thryssa, is a species of ray-finned fish in the family Engraulidae. The species is found in the tropical western Indo-Pacific region: mainly, the eastern direction near Myanmar, Taiwan, the northern head of Australia and Papua New Guinea and possibly the Philippines.
Etymology
Although the patronym was not identified by Gray, T. hamiltonii was clearly named in honor of Francis Hamilton-Buchanan (1762–1829), Scottish physician and naturalist, who published an influential account of Indo-Gangetic fishes in 1822.
