Cryptotrema is a genus of labrisomid blennies native to the eastern Pacific Ocean. [1]
There are currently two recognized species in this genus: [1]
Combtooth blennies are blenniiformids; percomorph marine fish of the family Blenniidae, part of the order Blenniiformes. They are the largest family of blennies with around 401 known species in 58 genera. Combtooth blennies are found in tropical and subtropical waters in the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans; some species are also found in brackish and even freshwater environments.
Labrisomids are small blennioids (blennies), percomorph marine fish belonging to the family Labrisomidae. Found mostly in the tropical Atlantic and Pacific Ocean, the family contains about 110 species in 15 genera.
Blenny is a common name for many types of fish, including several families of percomorph marine, brackish, and some freshwater fish sharing similar morphology and behaviour. Six families are considered "true blennies", grouped under the order Blenniiformes; its members are referred to as blenniiformids. About 151 genera and nearly 900 species have been described within the order. The order was formerly classified as a suborder of the Perciformes but the 5th Edition of Fishes of the World divided the Perciformes into a number of new orders and the Blenniiformes were placed in the percomorph clade Ovalentaria alongside the such taxa as Cichliformes, Mugiliformes and Gobiesociformes.
Enneanectes is a genus of triplefin fish in the family Tripterygiidae.
Malacoctenus is a genus of labrisomid blennies native to the eastern Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean.
Coralliozetus is a genus of chaenopsid blennies mostly found in the eastern Pacific Ocean with one species (C. cardonae) occurring in the western Atlantic Ocean. Additionally, one species (C. clausus) is endemic to Cocos Island, Costa Rica.
Acanthemblemaria is a genus of chaenopsid blennies native to the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
Chasmodes is a small genus of combtooth blennies found in the western Atlantic Ocean.
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.
Hypleurochilus is a genus of combtooth blennies found throughout the Atlantic Ocean.
Hypsoblennius is a genus of combtooth blennies found in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.
Emblemaria is a genus of chaenopsid blennies found throughout the Pacific and Atlantic oceans.
Emblemariopsis is a genus of flagblennies found throughout the Atlantic ocean.
Stathmonotus is a genus of chaenopsid blennies found in the Pacific and Atlantic oceans.
Haptoclinus is a genus of labrisomid blennies native to the Caribbean Sea.
Paraclinus is a genus of labrisomid blennies native to eastern Pacific Ocean and the western Atlantic Ocean.
Starksia is a genus of labrisomid blennies native to the western Atlantic Ocean and the eastern Pacific Ocean. Their typical length is 2 cm (0.79 in) SL. The generic name honours the American ichthyologist Edwin Chapin Starks (1867-1932) of Stanford University for his work on Pacific coastal fishes. As a genus Starksia is distinguished from other labrisomids by their scaled bodies, two obvious soft rays in the pelvic fin and the male's have an intromittent organ which is near to or attached to the first spine of their anal fins, which is also somewhat separated from the fin.
Cryptotrema corallinum, the deep-water blenny, is a species of labrisomid blenny native to the eastern Pacific Ocean where it is known to occur from Santa Cruz Island, California to Baja California, Mexico. It lives in areas with rocky substrates at depths of from 24 to 91 metres. This species can reach a length of 13 centimetres (5.1 in) TL.
Microlipophrys is a genus of combtooth blennies found in Atlantic ocean and the Mediterranean Sea.
Cichliformes is an order of fishes. Its members were previously classified under the order Perciformes, but now many authorities consider it to be an independent order within the subseries Ovalentaria.
