<i>Sclerothorax</i> Extinct genus of temnospondyls

Sclerothorax is an extinct genus of temnospondyl from the Early Triassic of Germany. It is distinguished from other temnospondyls by its short and very wide skull and the elongated neural spines that form a ridge along its back.

<i>Abramites hypselonotus</i> Species of fish

Abramites hypselonotus – known as the marbled headstander or the high-backed headstander – is a member of the family Anostomidae of the order Characiformes. Under normal fish classifying rules, the marbled headstander would be classified as a surface dweller. In reality marbled headstanders – like all headstanders – inhabit the middle and lower portions of the aquarium. In the wild, head standers are often found face down, tail up in narrow vertical rocky fissures.

Abramites eques, also known as headstander, picúo, or sardina, small teleost fish and is a member of the family Anostomidae of the order Characiformes. This South American species, like Abramites hypselonotus, adopts a head-down swimming posture due to its distinct feeding habit, which is a direct result of the locals that it frequents.
