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.

Acanthoplesiops
''Acanthoplesiops'' is a genus of reef-dwelling fishes belonging to the family Plesiopidae. All species are very small, with the largest specimen recorded only reaching 27 mm fish measurement, standard length. They have several features which distinguish them from other plesiopids, the most obvious of which is the presence of one or two spines on the operculum (fish), operculum.

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. ...''

The Acanthoclininae is a subfamily of ray-finned fishes, one of two in the family Plesiopidae. They are characterised by the head being scaleless or nearly scaleless, a dorsal fin which has 17–26 spines and 2–6 soft rays, an anal fin having 7–16 spines and 2–6 soft rays while the pelvic fin has one spine and two soft rays.

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.

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 ...
