Aetheliparis is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Liparidae, the snailfishes. One species known from the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of North America and the other from the Pacific Ocean near New Zealand.
Aetheliparis was first proposed as a genus in 2012 by David Leslie Stein. Stein was describing a new species of snailfish from New Zealand which was very similar to a species he and Natalia Valentina Chernova had described as Psednos rossi from the western North Atlantic in 2004. Stein designated P. rossi as the type species of the new genus Aetheliparis and included the new species, A. taurocanis, in the new genus. [1] FishBase retains P. rossi in the genus Psednos and lists A. taurocanis as the only species in Aetheliparis despite the type species of Aetheliparis not being included. [2]
There are currently two recognized species in this genus: [3]
Paraliparis is a genus of fish in the family Liparidae, the snailfishes. It is found in benthic, benthopelagic and pelagic habitats in all the world's oceans.
Notoliparis is a genus of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Liparidae, the snailfishes. These fishes are found in deep Oceanic trenches in the South Atlantic South Pacific and Southern Oceans.
Careproctus is a genus of snailfishes found in benthic and benthopelagic habitats in the Atlantic, Pacific, Arctic and Southern Oceans. Whether they truly are absent from the Indian Ocean is unknown and might be an artifact of limited sampling. They range from shallow coastal seas in the far north of their range to the abyssal zone, at depths of 6 to 5,459 m (20–17,910 ft). In the Northern Hemisphere they mostly live shallower than Paraliparis, but this pattern is reversed in the Southern Hemisphere. Although almost entirely restricted to very cold waters, a single species, C. hyaleius, lives at hydrothermal vents.
Psednos is a genus of snailfishes found in all the world's oceans.
Aetheliparis rossi is a species of snailfish only known from the mesopelagic zone in the North Atlantic off Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. This species is found at depths of from 500 to 674 metres.
Liparis atlanticus, the Atlantic snailfish or Atlantic seasnail, is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Liparidae, the snailfishes. This species is found in the western Atlantic Ocean off the eastern coast of North America.
Psednos chathami is a species of snailfish found in the south-western Pacific Ocean.
Psednos longiventris is a species of snailfish found in the south-western Pacific Ocean.
Psednos microstomus is a species of snailfish found in the south-western Pacific Ocean.
Psednos nemnezi is a species of snailfish found in the south-western Pacific Ocean.
Psednos struthersi is a species of snailfish found in the south-western Pacific Ocean.
Aetheliparis taurocanis is a species of snailfish found in the south-western Pacific Ocean.
Psednos delawarei is a species of snailfish found in the south-western Pacific Ocean.
