  Etymology of Generic name : 
  
Greek, Haploos = single + Greek, chromis = a fish, perhaps a perch (Ref. 45335).
Etymology of specific name : 
  
In reference to the silver male colouration, H. argens was given the nickname "argens" under the false assumption it was Latinized Greek for silver; since this species is well known under its cheironym, the authors thought it was best to upgrade the nickname to the species' epitheton (Ref. 92860).
