In human culture
Tariqilabeo macmahoni is the type species of the genus Tariqilabeo, this name suffixes the genus name Labeo, this taxon originally being proposed as a subgenus of that genus, on to the name Tariq, in honour of Zafarullah Khan Tariq who was Deputy Director, Department of Plant Protection, Government of Pakistan, who collected the specimens of this species used by Mizra and Saboohi in their study of this fish. The name of the person Zugmayer honoured with the specific name was not specified but it probably is in honours of the British diplomat and Indian Army officer Arthur Henry McMahon (1862-1949), who asked Zugmayer to set up a collection of marine fishes for a national museum in Quetta.
