Chaunax Obscurus
''Chaunax'', variously known as coffinfishes, gapers, or frogmouths, is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes. It is one of two genera belonging to the family Chaunacidae, the sea toads. They are found in tropical and subtropical oceans around the world, typically in deep water. Taxonomy ''Chaunax'' was first proposed as a monospecific genus in 1846 by the English naturalist Richard Thomas Lowe when he described ''Chaunax pictus'' as a new species from Madeira. There are three species groups within the genus: ''C. pictus'', containing three species; ''C. abei'', containing 17 species; and ''C. fimbriatus'', containing nine species. This genus is classified within the family Chaunacidae, the sea toads, one of two genera in that family. The sea toads are placed within the monotypic suborder Chaunacoidei within the anglerfish order Lophiiformes. Etymology ''Chaunax'' means "one who gapes", from ''chanos'' meaning "to gape", an allusion to the large, wide mouths of these fishes ...

''Chaunax suttkissi'', the pale-cavity gaper, spotted frogmouth, spotted gaper or Sutkus sea toad, is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Chaunacidae, the sea toads. This species is found in the Atlantic Ocean. Taxonomy ''Chaunax suttkisi'' was first formally described in 1989 by the American ichthyologist John H. Caruso with its type locality given as off Venezuela in the Caribbean Sea at 11°40'N, 62°33'W, at a depth of . Within the genus ''Chaunax'' this species is placed in the ''Chaunax fimbriatus'' species group. The genus ''Chaunax'' is one of two genera classified by the 5th edition of the ''Fishes of the World'' within the family Chaunacidae, the sea toads. The sea toads are placed within the monotypic suborder Chaunacoidei within the anglerfish order Lophiiformes. Etymology ''Chaunax'', the genus name, means "one who gapes", from ''chanos'' meaning "to gape", an allusion to the large, wide mouths of these fishes. The specific name ''suttkus ...

Suborder
Order () is one of the eight major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy. It is classified between family and class. In biological classification, the order is a taxonomic rank used in the classification of organisms and recognized by the nomenclature codes. An immediately higher rank, superorder, is sometimes added directly above order, with suborder directly beneath order. An order can also be defined as a group of related families. What does and does not belong to each order is determined by a taxonomist, as is whether a particular order should be recognized at all. Often there is no exact agreement, with different taxonomists each taking a different position. There are no hard rules that a taxonomist needs to follow in describing or recognizing an order. Some taxa are accepted almost universally, while others are recognized only rarely. The name of an order is usually written with a capital letter. For some groups of organisms, their orders may follow consistent ...
