Pseudophallus is a genus of freshwater pipefishes native to Central and South America.
There are currently three recognized species in this genus: [1]
Eleotridae is a family of fish commonly known as sleeper gobies, with about 34 genera and 180 species. Most species are found in the tropical Indo-Pacific region, but there are also species in subtropical and temperate regions, warmer parts of the Americas and near the Atlantic coast in Africa. While many eleotrids pass through a planktonic stage in the sea and some spend their entire lives in the sea; as adults, the majority live in freshwater streams and brackish water. One of its genera, Caecieleotris, is troglobitic. They are especially important as predators in the freshwater stream ecosystems on oceanic islands such as New Zealand and Hawaii that otherwise lack the predatory fish families typical of nearby continents, such as catfish. Anatomically, they are similar to the gobies (Gobiidae), though unlike the majority of gobies, they do not have a pelvic sucker.
Sphoeroides is a genus of pufferfishes.
Sturisomatichthys is a genus of armored catfishes native to Central and South America.
Cathorops is a genus of catfishes in the family Ariidae found in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. These species are found in the eastern and western Central and South America in brackish and freshwater habitats. This genus is a strongly supported clade of this family. It consists of a natural group in which the monophyly is well-defined by morphological and molecular evidence and the genus probably includes several unrecognized species from both American coasts.
Brycon is a genus of fish in the family Bryconidae and order Characiformes found in freshwater habitats in Central and South America, ranging from southern Mexico to northern Argentina. Despite not being closely related to true trout, they are sometimes called South American trout. Members of the genus may be referred to by a number of other different common names in various languages. They reach a maximum length of 11.9–79.5 cm (4.7–31.3 in) depending on the species involved. Some species perform seasonal breeding migrations.
Sanopus is a genus of toadfishes restricted to the Atlantic coast of Central America and Mexico.
Hyporhamphus is a genus of halfbeaks. The species in this genus are distributed throughout the warmer seas of the world, most species being Indo-Pacific and there are some freshwater species.
Neoheterandria is a genus of poeciliids native to Panama and Colombia.
Ekemblemaria is a genus of chaenopsid blennies found in the eastern Pacific and western Atlantic oceans.
Bascanichthys is a genus of eels in the snake eel family Ophichthidae. It currently contains the following species:
Anchoa is a genus of ray-finned fishes in the family Engraulidae. It currently consists of 35 species.
Odontognathus is a genus of longfin herrings in the family Pristigasteridae. Currently, three species are recognized for this genus, all of which are restricted to tropical waters of the Western Hemisphere.
Gephyrocharax is a genus of characins found in South America, Trinidad in the Caribbean, and Panama.
Atherinella is a genus of Neotropical silversides from freshwater, brackish and marine habitats in Mexico, Central America and South America.
Priapichthys is a genus of poeciliid fishes native to Costa Rica, Panama and Colombia.
Cynodonichthys is a genus of freshwater killifish in the family Rivulidae. They are found in Middle America, ranging from southern Mexico, through Central America, to Colombia. They are non-annual killifish and inhabit small forest streams from the lowlands to an altitude of 1,500 m (4,900 ft).
Leptophilypnus is a genus of small fishes in the family Eleotridae native to fresh and brackish water in Central America.
Samuel Frederick Hildebrand was an American ichthyologist.
Microdesmus is a genus of wormfishes native to the Atlantic Ocean and the eastern Pacific Ocean.
Diplectrum, commonly known as sand perches, is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes which is a member of the subfamily Serraninae of the family Serranidae, which includes the groupers and anthias. There are 12 species distributed in the western Atlantic Ocean and the eastern Pacific Ocean.
