Antennablennius is a genus of combtooth blennies found in the Indian Ocean, largely in the western regions.
There are currently nine recognized species in this genus: [1]
Entomacrodus is a genus of combtooth blennies.
Alloblennius anuchalis is a species of combtooth blenny in the genus Alloblennius. It is a tropical blenny found in the western Indian ocean, around Mauritius and Oman. Males can reach a maximum standard length of 2.4 centimetres. The species is oviparous.
The Pacific leaping blenny, also known as the leaping rockskipper, is a species of combtooth blenny in the genus Alticus. The blennies are oviparous, and form distinct pairs when mating. Males can reach a maximum total length of 8 centimetres. These fish feed primarily on benthic algae, which they consume by scraping off rocky surfaces.
Blenniella is a genus of combtooth blennies found in the Pacific and Indian Oceans.
Antennablennius adenensis, the Aden blenny, is a species of combtooth blenny found in the western Indian Ocean, from the Red Sea to the Persian Gulf and Pakistan.
Antennablennius australis, the moustached blenny, is a species of combtooth blenny found in the western Indian Ocean.
Antennablennius bifilum, the horned rockskipper, is a species of combtooth blenny found in the western Indian Ocean.
Antennablennius hypenetes, the Arabian blenny, is a species of combtooth blenny found in the western Indian ocean, from the northern Red Sea to the Persian Gulf.
Antennablennius simonyi, Simony's blenny, is a species of combtooth blenny found in the western Indian Ocean, from the Gulf of Aden to the Persian Gulf. The specific name honours the Austrian mathematician and entomologist Oskar Simony (1852-1915), who looked after the collection of fish specimen on an expedition to Socotra on which the type was collected.
Antennablennius variopunctatus, the orange-dotted blenny, is a species of combtooth blenny found in the western Indian Ocean.
Blenniella gibbifrons, also known as the hump-headed blenny, bullethead rockskipper or picture rockskipper, is a species of combtooth blenny found in coral reefs in the Pacific and Indian Oceans from the East Africa to the Hawaiian, Line and Ducie Islands, north to Marcus Island.
Blenniella periophthalmus is a species of combtooth blenny found in coral reefs in the Pacific and Indian oceans. It is commonly known as the blue-dashed rockskipper, bullethead rockskipper, false rockskipper, or the peppered blenny.
Istiblennius is a genus of combtooth blennies found in the Pacific and Indian Oceans. The generic name is a compound noun composed of istio the Greek for "sail", referring to the high dorsal fin of the type species, Istiblennius muelleri, and blennius which is derived from a word for "mucus" and refers to the scaleless bodies that characterise the Blenniidae.
Istiblennius zebra, the zebra blenny, is a species of combtooth blenny found in tide pools around the Hawaiian Islands. It is also commonly known as the zebra rockskipper, rockskipper, jumping jack or the gori. Males of this species can reach a maximum standard length of 19.3 cm (7.6 in), while females can reach a maximum length of 14.1 cm (5.6 in). It can be found in the aquarium trade.
Paralticus amboinensis, the Ambon rockskipper or the big-nose blenny, is a species of combtooth blenny found in the western central Pacific Ocean. This species reaches a length of 16 centimetres (6.3 in) TL. It is currently the only known member of its genus.
Praealticus is a genus of combtooth blennies found throughout the Pacific and Indian oceans.
Praealticus natalis, the Christmas rockskipper, Natal blenny or the Natal rockskipper, is a species of combtooth blenny found in coral reefs around Christmas Island in the eastern Indian Ocean. This species grows to a length of 8 centimetres (3.1 in) TL.
Rhabdoblennius is a genus of combtooth blennies found in the Pacific Ocean, mostly in the western Pacific. The name pf this genus is derived from the Greek word rhabdos meaning "stick" or "rod" and blennius meaning "mucus", referring to the absence of scales on the body of blennies.
Dialommus is a genus of labrisomid blennies native to the eastern Pacific Ocean.
