Anampses is a genus of wrasses native to the Indian and Pacific Oceans.
Entomacrodus is a genus of combtooth blennies.
Salarias is a genus of combtooth blennies found in the Indian and Pacific oceans.
Plagiotremus is a genus of combtooth blennies found throughout the Pacific and Indian oceans.
Andamia is a genus of combtooth blennies found in the Pacific and Indian Oceans.
Antennablennius is a genus of combtooth blennies found in the Indian Ocean, largely in the western regions.
Blenniella chrysospilos, the red-spotted blenny, is a species of combtooth blenny found in coral reefs in the Pacific and Indian oceans.
Blenniella cyanostigma, the striped rockskipper, is a species of combtooth blenny found in coral reefs in the 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 East Africa in the west to the Hawaiian, Line and Ducie Islands, in the east and north to Marcus Island.
Blenniella interrupta, the dashed-line blenny, is a species of combtooth blenny found in coral reefs in the western Pacific ocean.
Blenniella paula, the blue-dashed rockskipper, is a species of combtooth blenny found in coral reefs in the western Pacific ocean.
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. B. periophthalmus are oviparous animals and once they lay eggs, the eggs attach to the surface of the sea floor due to an adhesive coating. B. periophthalmus prefer a depth range of 0-3 meters and can have a maximum body length of 10 centimeters.
Cirripectes is a large genus of combtooth blennies found throughout the Pacific and Indian oceans. Cirripectes biconvexus, an otolith based fossil species from the Burdigalian (Miocene) of southwestern India is probably the earliest record of this genus.
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.
Praealticus is a genus of combtooth blennies found throughout the Pacific and Indian oceans.
