Microlipophrys is a genus of combtooth blennies found in Atlantic ocean and the Mediterranean Sea.
There are currently seven recognized species in this genus: [1] [2]
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 generas. 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.

Montagu's blenny, also known as the capuchin blenny, is a species of combtooth blenny found in the intertidal zones of the eastern Atlantic ocean from England to Madeira and the Canary Islands as well the Mediterranean Sea, the Black Sea and the Sea of Marmara. This species prefers rocky shores with much wave action. This species grows to a length of 7.6 centimetres (3.0 in) SL. It is the only species in the genus Coryphoblennius.
Hypsoblennius is a genus of combtooth blennies found in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.
Lipophrys is a small genus of combtooth blennies found in Atlantic ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. It is one of 57 genera in the family Blenniidae.

This species grows to a length of 4.3 centimetres (1.7 in) TL. The specific name honours the French ichthyologist and assistant manager at the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle in Paris Marie-Louise Bauchot who had realised that this was a new species in 1967 but who felt there was too little material to describe a new species.
Microlipophrys caboverdensis is a species of marine fish in the family Blenniidae, the combtooth blennies. It is endemic to Cape Verde, eastern central Atlantic Ocean. The species was named and described as Lipophrys caboverdensis by Peter Wirtz and Hans Bath in 1989. Its common name in Portuguese and Capeverdean Creole is "mané-cabeça".

Salarinae is one of two subfamilies in the combtooth blenny family Blenniidae, it is the largest of the two subfamilies in the Blennidae with 43 genera. The species in this subfamily are mainly marine, with a few species which are found in freshwater or brackish water, and a few species are known to spend much time out of the water.
