Plesiopinae
Plesiopinae is one of two subfamilies in the family Plesiopidae, the longfins or roundheads. Characteristics The fish in the subfamily Plesiopinae are relatively small fish, growing to a maximum length of . They have scales on the gill covers and these frequently extend to the top of their heads. The dorsal fin has between 11 and 15 spines and 6 and 21 soft rays, the anal fin has 3 spines and between 7 and 23 soft rayes while the pelvic fin has a single spine and 4 soft rays. Genera The following gerbera are classified under the Plesiopinae: * '' Assessor'' Whitley, 1935 * '' Calloplesiops'' Fowler & B.A. Bean, 1930 * '' Fraudella'' Whitley, 1935 * ''Paraplesiops ''Paraplesiops'' is a genus containing five largely Allopatric speciation, allopatric species of fishes in the longfin, or roundhead, family Plesiopidae, commonly known as blue devils, bluedevils, or blue devilfish because of their colouration. ...''

Plesiopidae
The longfins, also known as roundheads or spiny basslets, are a Family (biology), family, Plesiopidae, which were formerly placed in the order Perciformes or considered indeterminate Percomorpha, percomorphs, but are now considered basal Blenniiformes, blenniiforms. They are elongated fishes, found in the Indian Ocean and western Pacific Ocean. Classification In some classifications, the genus ''Notograptus'' is split in its own family, Notograptidae, but FishBase is followed here. There are two Subfamily, subfamilies within the Plesiopidae and the genera are as follows: *Subfamily Acanthoclininae Günther, 1861 ** Genus ''Acanthoclinus'' Leonard Jenyns, Jenyns, 1841 ** Genus ''Acanthoplesiops'' Charles Tate Regan, Regan, 1912 ** Genus ''Beliops'' Graham S.

Paraplesiops
''Paraplesiops'' is a genus containing five largely Allopatric speciation, allopatric species of fishes in the longfin, or roundhead, family Plesiopidae, commonly known as blue devils, bluedevils, or blue devilfish because of their colouration. The genus is most similar to the tropical genera ''Plesiops'' and ''Fraudella''. It is restricted to subtropical and temperate rocky and coral reefs in Australian waters. Its species are mostly cryptic, occurring in submarine caves, crevices and under rocky ledges. ''Paraplesiops'' often hide unless food is available, they are very friendly fish unless around their prey. They eat small fish or crustaceans. Species There are five recognized species: * ''Paraplesiops alisonae'' Hoese and Rudie Kuiter, Kuiter, 1984 – Alison's blue devil * ''Paraplesiops bleekeri'' (Albert Günther, Günther, 1861) – eastern blue devil * ''Paraplesiops meleagris'' (Wilhelm Peters, Peters, 1869) – southern blue devil * ''Paraplesiops poweri'' James D ...

Plesiops
''Plesiops'' is a genus of ray-finned fishes in the family Plesiopidae. It is a genus of small fishes which vary in length from and and which live in shallow coral flats or around heads of coral. They have elongated pelvic fins and the other fins are marked with colourful patterns such as stripes and these give name to the common names "longfin" and "prettyfin". They are thought to be nocturnal and are infrequently seen in the wild. They are carnivorous and their diet is made up of crustaceans, gastropods and small fishes and sometimes on brittle star Brittle stars, serpent stars, or ophiuroids (; ; referring to the serpent-like arms of the brittle star) are echinoderms in the class Ophiuroidea, closely related to starfish. They crawl across the sea floor using their flexible arms for locomot ...s. A defining characteristic of this genus is that they lay elongated eggs which are laid under rocks or overhangs and are guarded by the male. Species The following species are curr ...

Albert Günther
Albert Karl Ludwig Gotthilf Günther , also Albert Charles Lewis Gotthilf Günther (3October 18301February 1914), was a German-born British zoologist, ichthyologist, and herpetologist. Günther is ranked the second-most productive reptile taxonomist (after George Albert Boulenger) with more than 340 reptile species described. Early life and career Günther was born in Esslingen in Swabia ( Württemberg). His father was a ''Stiftungs-Commissar'' in Esslingen and his mother was Eleonora Nagel. He initially schooled at the Stuttgart Gymnasium. His family wished him to train for the ministry of the Lutheran Church for which he moved to the University of Tübingen.

His first work was "''Ueber den Puppenzustand eines Distoma''" (On the pupal state of ''Distoma''). He graduated in medicine with an M.D. from Tübingen in 1858, the same year in which he published a handbook ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
