Haptoclinus is a genus of labrisomid blennies native to the Caribbean Sea. [1] [2]
There are currently two recognized species in this genus: [1] [2]
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.
Scorpaenodes is a widespread genus of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Scorpaenidae, the scorpionfishes. The fishes in this genus are found to the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Ocean.
Enneanectes is a genus of triplefin fish in the family Tripterygiidae.

Entomacrodus is a genus of combtooth blennies.
Acanthemblemaria is a genus of chaenopsid blennies native to the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
The molly miller is a species of fish of the family Blenniidae in the order Perciformes. It can be found in the Atlantic, Mediterranean, and northwest Pacific Oceans. Its color is a mottled tan, white, and black covering the body and fins. The head of this fish is covered with short hair-like appendages and has two very large eyes. This species reaches 12 cm (4.7 in) in total length.
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.
Haptoclinus apectolophus, the Uncombed blenny, is a species of labrisomid blenny known only from Arrowsmith Bank off of the Yucatan Peninsula. This species is only known to occur in deep waters at depths of from 339 to 366 metres.
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.
Starksia robertsoni, the Robertson's blenny, is a species of labrisomid blenny native to the Caribbean coast of Panama and Islas de Las Dos Hermanas near Portobelo. It was previously known as Starksia lepicoelia, and is also closely related to Starksia weigti and Starksia williamsi. It is named after D. Ross Robertson, a scientist from Smithsonian Institution. Males of this species can reach a length of 2.1 cm (0.83 in) SL while females are slightly larger at 2.2 cm (0.87 in).
Leptoderma is a genus of slickheads found in the deep waters of the oceans.
Haptoclinus dropi, the Four-fin blenny, is a species of labrisomid blenny only known to occur off of Curaçao in the Caribbean where it was collected from a deep-sea reef at a depth between 157 and 167 metres. The only specimen collected, a female, measured 2.15 centimetres (0.85 in) SL.
Coryphopterus is a genus of gobies primarily found in the western Atlantic Ocean, although some species are found in the Indian and/or Pacific oceans.
