Prionotinae
Prionotinae is a subfamily of demersal, marine ray-finned fishes, part of the family Triglidae. The fishes in this subfamily are called sea robins and are found in the Western Atlantic and Eastern Pacific Oceans, the other two Triglid subfamilies are called gurnards. Taxonomy Prionotinae was first proposed as a subfamily in 1873 by the German naturalist Johann Jakob Kaup. It is classified within the family Triglidae, part of the suborder Platycephaloidei within the order Scorpaeniformes. Prionotinae is regarded as the basal grouping within the family Triglidae. Etymology The name of the subfamily is derived from what was its only genus at the time of its delineation by Kaup, ''Prionotus''. This name is a compound of ''prion'', "saw", and ''notus'', "back", as Lacépède saw three free dorsal spines when he was describing the type species '' P. evolans'' but these were probably the result of damage to the specimen. The common names, sea robin, comes from the orange ventral s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Prionotus
''Prionotus'' is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the Family (biology), family Triglidae, one of two genera belonging to the subfamily Prionotinae, the searobins. These fishes are found in the Western Atlantic Ocean and eastern Pacific Ocean, in the waters off the Americas. Taxonomy ''Prionotus'' was first described as a genus in 1801 by the French naturalist Bernard Germain de Lacépède, who described it as a monotypic genus with its type species being ''Prionotus evolans, Trigla evolans'', Species description, described by Linnaeus in 1766. The genus is one of 2 genera classified within the subfamily Prionotinae, the searobins, in the gurnard family Triglidae. Etymology The genus name is a compound of ''wikt:πρίων, prion''; "saw", and ''notus''; "back", as Lacépède saw three free dorsal fin, dorsal spines (not encased in the fin's Biological membrane, membrane) when he was describing the type species ''Prionotus evolans, P. evolans'' but these were p ...

Bellator (fish)
''Bellator'' is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Triglidae, one of two genera belonging to the subfamily Prionotinae, the sea robins. These fishes are found in the Western Atlantic Ocean and eastern Pacific Ocean, in the waters off both North and South America. Taxonomy ''Bellator'' was first described as a genus in 1896 by the American ichthyologists David Starr Jordan and Barton Warren Evermann, with''Prionotus militaris'', which had been described earlier in 1896 by George Brown Goode and Tarleton Hoffman Bean from off Cape Catoche in Yucatán, Mexico, designated as its type species and also being its only species. The genus is one of 2 genera classified within the subfamily Prionotinae, the sea robins, in the gurnards family Triglidae. The genus name ''Bellator'' means "warrior", reflecting the specific name of the type species, which means "like a soldier", and is thought to be a reference to the elongate first two spines in the dorsal fin.

Triglidae
''Triglidae'', commonly known as gurnards or sea robins, are a Family (biology), family of bottom-feeding scorpaeniform ray-finned fish. The gurnards are distributed in temperate and tropical seas worldwide. Taxonomy ''Triglidae'' was first described as a Family (biology), family in 1815 by the French polymath and naturalist Constantine Samuel Rafinesque. In 1883 David Starr Jordan, Jordan and Charles Henry Gilbert, Gilbert formally designated ''Trigla lyra'', which had been Species description, described by Carl Linnaeus, Linnaeus in 1758, as the type species of the genus ''Trigla'' and so of the family Triglidae. The 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World'' classifies this family within the suborder Platycephaloidei in the Order (biology), order Scorpaeniformes. Other authorities differ and do not consider the Scorpaeniformes to be a valid order because the Perciformes order is not monophyletic without the Taxon, taxa within the Scorpaeniformes being included. These authorities c ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Platycephaloidei
Platycephaloidei is a suborder of ray-finned fishes, part of the Order (biology), order Scorpaeniformes, and includes the Platycephalidae, flatheads, ghost flatheads and Triglidae, sea robins. Taxonomy Platycephaloidei was first recognised and named as a taxonomic grouping in 1943 by the Japanese ichthyologist Kiyomatsu Matsubara. The 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World'' classifies this group as a suborder within the Scorpaeniformes. Other authorities classify the families that make up Patycephaloidei in the 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World'' as two suborders; the Platycephaloidei, consisting of the families Bembridae, Parabembridae (separated from Bembridae), Platycephalidae, Hoplichthyidae and Plectrogenium, Plectrogeniidae (treated as a subfamily of Scorpaenidae in ''Fishes of the World'') and the Trigloidei, including the families Triglidae and Peristediidae. The name of the suborder is taken from that of the type genus ''Platycephalus'' which means "flat head". Familie ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Prionotus Evolans
''Prionotus evolans'', the striped searobin, is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the Family (biology), family Triglidae, the sea robins. This fish is found in the western Atlantic Ocean. Taxonomy ''Prionotus evolans'' was first formally Species description, described in 1766 by the Swedish scientist Carl Linnaeus as ''Trigla evolans'', with the Type locality (biology), type locality given as South Carolina and Jamaica. When Bernard Germain de Lacépède described the then Monotypic taxon, monotypic genus ''Prionotus'', its only species was Linnaeus's ''T. evolans'', which he also designated as the type species of the genus. The Specific name (zoology), specific name ''evolans'' means "flying away", an allusion to the long pectoral fins which resemble wings. Description The maximum published total length of the striped searobin is , although is more typical, and the maximum published weight is . The overall color is reddish to olive brown with a thin dark str ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
