Starksia spinipenis, the phallic blenny, is a species of labrisomid blenny native to the Pacific coast of Mexico from the Gulf of California to Acapulco. It prefers shallow sandy areas with weed growth. This species can reach a length of 5 centimetres (2.0 in) TL. The specific name is a compound noun if spinis meaning "spine" and penis, a reference to the first spine in the anal fin of the males which is elongated and free of the fin membrane and is modified as a copulatory organ, a characteristic of the genus Starksia.
Starksia springeri, the Springer's blenny, is a species of labrisomid blenny endemic to the waters around Curaçao where it is found at depths of from 1 to 25 m.

This species can reach a length of 4 cm (1.6 in) TL. It is also found in the aquarium trade. The specific name honours the Walter A Starck II in recognition of his contributions to marine biology.
Starksia weigti, the Weigt's blenny, is a species of labrisomid blenny known only from the Caribbean coastal waters of Belize at depths of from 6 to 8 metres. It was previously known as Starksia lepicoelia, and is also closely related to Starksia williamsi and Starksia robertsoni. It is named after Lee A.
