Peristedion
''Peristedion'' is a genus of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Peristediidae, the armoured gurnards or armored sea robins. These fishes are found in Atlantic and Indo-West Pacific ocean waters. Taxonomy Peristedion was first described as a genus in 1801 by the French naturalist Bernard Germain de Lacépède when he described ''Peristedion marmalat'' from the Mediterranean Sea and the Moluccas. In 1826 Jean Baptiste Bory de Saint-Vincent designated ''P. marmalat'' as the type species of the genus. ''P. marmalat'' is now treated as a junior synonym of Carl Linnaeus's ''Trigla cataphracta'', which he described from the Mediterranean Sea off southern France. Within the family Peristediidae there are 2 clades. One, which contains Peristedion, is a monotypic clade, while the other clade is made up of the remaining 5 genera of the Peristediidae. The name of the genus ''Peristedion'' is a combination of ''peri'', meaning "around", and ''stedion'', which is a diminutive ...

Peristedion Cataphractum
''Peristedion cataphractum'', the African armoured gurnard, the mailed gurnard or armed gurnard, is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Peristediidae, the armoured gurnards or armored sea robins. It is found in the eastern Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. Taxonomy ''Peristedion cataphractum'' was first formally described as ''Trigla cataphracta'' in 1758 by Carl Linnaeus in the 10th edition of his ''Systema Naturae'' with its type locality given as the Mediterranean Sea of southern France. In 1801 the French naturalist Bernard Germain de Lacépède described a new species and genus when he described ''Peristedion marmalat'', from the Mediterranean Sea and the Moluccas. In 1826 Jean Baptiste Bory de Saint-Vincent designated ''P. marmalat'' as the type species of the genus. ''P. marmalat'' is now treated as a junior synonym of Linnaeus's ''Trigla cataphracta''. The specific name ''cataphractum'' means "armoured", an allusion to the bony plates for ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
