Microlipophrys Nigriceps
The black-headed blenny (''Microlipophrys nigriceps'') is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Blenniidae, the combtooth blennies. This species is endemic to the Mediterranean sea. Taxonomy The black-headed blenny was first formally described as ''Blennius nigriceps'' by the Italian physician and ichthyologist Decio Vinciguerra with its type locality given as Porto Milna, Brazza Island, Dalmatia. This species is now classified in the genus ''Microlipophrys'' which is classified within the subfamily Salariinae in the combtooth blenny family Blenniidae. Etymology The black-headed blenny has been classified in the genus ''Microlipophrys'', this genus was split from the genus ''Lipophrys'' in 2005 as the smaller species classified in ''Lipophrys'' formed a monophyletic clade which was not the sister taxon of ''Lipophrys''. The name of this genus was coined by prefixing ''Lipophrys'' with ''micro-'', which means "small". The specific name ''nigriceps'', me ...

Microlipophrys Canevae
''Microlipophrys canevae'' is a species of combtooth blenny found in the northeast Atlantic Ocean near Portugal and in the Mediterranean Sea. This species grows to a length of TL. A previously undescribed species of combtooth blenny was described from the Adriatic Sea by the French ichthyologist François Charrousset ( fr) from two specimens and given the name '' Lipophrys heuvelmansi''. However, in 2015 a comparison of these specimens with specimens of ''M. canevae'' showed that ''L. heuvelsmani'' was a junior synonym of this species. The specific name honours the friend of Vincuguerra's, Giorgio Caneva, whose work encouraged Vinciguerra to study blennies from the Gulf of Genoa and led to the description Description is any type of communication that aims to make vivid a place, object, person, group, or other physical entity.

Combtooth Blenny
Combtooth blennies are blenny, blenniiformids; Percomorpha, percomorph marine fish of the family Blenniidae, part of the Order (biology), order Blenniiformes. They are the largest family of blennies with around 401 known species in 58 genera. Combtooth blennies are found in tropical and subtropical waters in the Atlantic Ocean, Atlantic, Pacific Ocean, Pacific and Indian Oceans; some species are also found in brackish and even freshwater environments. Description The body plan of the combtooth blennies is archetypal to all other blennioids; their blunt heads and eyes are large, with large continuous dorsal fins (which may have three to 17 spines). Their bodies are compressed, elongated, and scaleless; their small, slender pelvic fins (which are absent in only two species) are situated before their enlarged pectoral fins, and their tail fins are rounded. As their name would suggest, combtooth blennies are noted for the comb-like teeth lining their jaws. By far the largest species ...

Taxa Named By Peter Wirtz
In biology, a taxon (back-formation from ''taxonomy''; : taxa) is a group of one or more populations of an organism or organisms seen by taxonomists to form a unit. Although neither is required, a taxon is usually known by a particular name and given a particular ranking, especially if and when it is accepted or becomes established. It is very common, however, for taxonomists to remain at odds over what belongs to a taxon and the criteria used for inclusion, especially in the context of rank-based (" Linnaean") nomenclature (much less so under phylogenetic nomenclature). If a taxon is given a formal scientific name, its use is then governed by one of the nomenclature codes specifying which scientific name is correct for a particular grouping. Initial attempts at classifying and ordering organisms (plants and animals) were presumably set forth in prehistoric times by hunter-gatherers, as suggested by the fairly sophisticated folk taxonomies. Much later, Aristotle, and later still ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
John Roxborough Norman
John Roxborough Norman (1898, Wandsworth, London – 26 May 1944, Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire) was an English ichthyologist. He started as a clerk in a bank. His lifetime affliction with rheumatic fever began during his military service during the First World War. He entered the British Museum in 1921 where he worked for Charles Tate Regan (1878–1943). From 1939 to 1944, he was in charge of the Natural History Museum at Tring as the Curator of Zoology. Norman was the author of, among others, ''A History of Fishes'' (1931) and ''A Draft Synopsis of the Orders, Families and Genera of Recent Fishes'' (1957). He was considered closer to Albert Günther (1830–1914) than to Regan.

Decio Vinciguerra
Decio Vinciguerra (23 May 1856 – 5 October 1934) was an Italian physician and ichthyologist who for many years was Director of the Aquarium of Rome. Early years Decio Vinciguerra was born in Genoa on 23 May 1856. He studied at the University of Genoa, and in 1878 obtained a degree in Medicine and Surgery. Immediately after graduating he was appointed assistant to the Chair of Zoology and Comparative Anatomy in the University of Genoa. He was naturally attracted to zoology, which he studied further, obtaining a doctorate degree. He became a botanist and a zoologist with particular interest in ichthyology. Vinciguerra was a member of the Italian expedition to Tierra del Fuego in 1882 led by Giacomo Bove. Although officially both zoologist and botanist, in fact Carlos Luigi Spegazzini from Buenos Aires handled the botanical work. The geologist Domenico Lovisato and the hydrologist Giovanni Roncagli made up the scientific party. Vinciguerra made valuable collections and observat ...
