Paraclinus arcanus is a species of labrisomid blenny native to the Atlantic coast of Brazil. It is an inhabitant of reefs at depths of from near the surface to 3 metres (9.8 ft). This species can reach a length of 3.2 centimetres (1.3 in) SL.
Paraclinus barbatus, the Goatee blenny, is a species of labrisomid blenny native to reefs of the western Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. It can reach a length of 3.4 centimetres (1.3 in) TL.
Paraclinus ditrichus, the Leastfoot blenny, is a species of labrisomid blenny native to the Pacific coast of Mexico at depths of from near the surface to 6 metres (20 ft).
Paraclinus fasciatus, the banded blenny, is a species of labrisomid blenny native to the Atlantic Ocean including the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea from southern Florida to Venezuela. The banded blenny is a marine organism, meaning it lives in an aquatic environment. This species lives in the vicinity of coral reefs preferring sea grass beds in shallow waters down to 2 metres (6.6 ft). Although they are typically located in shallow waters, their colors camouflage them exceptionally well, leading to them rarely being seen or recognized. They have also been found within floating algae.
Paraclinus grandicomis, the horned blenny, is a perciform marine species of labrisomid blenny native to reefs of the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. It is a benthic fish so it cruises along above the sandy or rocky seabed and foraging for crustaceans.
Paraclinus infrons, the Bald blenny, is a species of labrisomid blenny native to reefs of the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea from Florida and the Bahamas over to Belize. It is found at depths of from 12 to 45 metres. This species can reach a length of 3 centimetres (1.2 in).
Paraclinus integripinnis, the reef finspot, is a species of labrisomid blenny native to the Pacific coast of North America from southern California to Baja California. This species inhabits rocky areas and tide pools down to depths of 15 metres (49 ft). It can reach a length of 6.4 centimetres (2.5 in) TL.
Paraclinus magdalenae, the Magdalena blenny, is a species of labrisomid blenny only known from around Isla Margarita in Magdalena Bay on the coast of Baja California Sur, where it is found at depths of around 18 to 21 metres.
Paraclinus marmoratus, the Marbled blenny, is a species of labrisomid blenny native to the western Atlantic Ocean including the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea from southern Florida to Venezuela. This species can be found in shallow waters down to a depth of about 6 metres (20 ft) on coral reefs and in sea grass beds. It seems to show a particular association with the sponge Verongia fistularis. This species can reach a length of 10 centimetres (3.9 in) TL. It can also be found in the aquarium trade.
Paraclinus mexicanus, the Mexican blenny, is a species of labrisomid blenny native to reefs of the Pacific coast of the Americas from Baja California, Mexico to Ecuador. This species can reach a length of 4 centimetres (1.6 in) TL. It can also be found in the aquarium trade.
Paraclinus monophthalmus, known commonly as the One-eyed blenny, is a species of labrisomid blenny native to the Pacific coast of Central America where they occur in shallow waters with plentiful weed growth from Costa Rica to Panama. This species can reach a length of 8.5 centimetres (3.3 in) TL.
Paraclinus naeorhegmis, the Surf blenny, is a species of labrisomid blenny endemic to the Bahamas where it occurs in eroded limestone shorelines. This species can reach a length of 2.7 centimetres (1.1 in) TL.
Paraclinus nigripinnis, the Blackfin blenny, is a species of labrisomid blenny native to the western Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea from southern Florida to Brazil. It inhabits coral reefs, areas of eroded limestone, tide pools, and rocky areas with algal growth down to depths of around 10 metres (33 ft). This species can reach a length of 6.5 centimetres (2.6 in) TL. It can also be found in the aquarium trade.
Paraclinus sini, the Flapscale blenny, is a species of labrisomid blenny native to the Pacific coast of Mexico including the Gulf of California. This species can reach a length of 6 centimetres (2.4 in) TL.
Paraclinus spectator is a species of labrisomid blenny native to the Atlantic coast of Brazil where it can be found on rocky reefs at depths of from 1 to 7 metres. This species can reach a length of 5.2 centimetres (2.0 in) SL.
Paraclinus stephensi, the Professor blenny, is a species of labrisomid blenny native to the Pacific coast of Mexico where it can be found at depths of from near the surface to 14 metres (46 ft). The specific name honours the American biologist John S. Stephens Jr., who has extensively studied the Blenniiformes.
Paraclinus tanygnathus, the Longjaw blenny, is a species of labrisomid blenny native to the Pacific coast of Mexico including the Gulf of California where it can be found at depths of from very shallow waters to about 14 metres (46 ft).
Paraclinus walkeri, the San Quintin blenny, is a species of labrisomid blenny native to the coasts of Baja California Sur, Mexico. The specific name honours the fisheries biologist Boyd W. Walker (1917-2001) of the University of California, Los Angeles who placed his specimens at the disposal of Clark Hubbs.
