Verilus Starnesi
''Verilus'' is a genus of fish in the family Acropomatidae found in the Atlantic. Species There are currently 3 recognized species in this genus: * '' Verilus pseudomicrolepis'' (Schultz, 1940) * '' Verilus sordidus'' Poey, 1860 * '' Verilus starnesi'' Yamanoue, 2016 Abstract Taxonomy Some authorities merge this genus with '' Neoscombrops'' and ''Apogonops'' but Fishbase FishBase is a global species database of fish species (specifically finfish).

Felipe Poey Y Aloy
Felipe Poey (May 26, 1799 – January 28, 1891) was a Cuban zoologist. Biography Poey was born in Havana, the son of French and Spanish parents. He spent several years (1804 to 1807) of his life in Pau then studied law in Madrid. He became a lawyer in Spain but was forced to leave due to his liberal ideas, returning to Cuba in 1823. He began to concentrate on the study of the natural science and traveled to France in 1825 with his wife. He began writing on the butterflies of Cuba and acquiring knowledge on fish, later supplying Georges Cuvier Jean Léopold Nicolas Frédéric, Baron Cuvier (; 23 August 1769 – 13 May 1832), known as Georges Cuvier, was a French naturalist and zoologist, sometimes referred to as the "founding father of paleontology". Cuvier was a major figure in na ... and Valenciennes with fish specimens from Cuba. He took part in the foundation, in 1832, of the Société Entomologique de France.

Fish Described In 1860
Fish are aquatic, craniate, gill-bearing animals that lack limbs with digits. Included in this definition are the living hagfish, lampreys, and cartilaginous and bony fish as well as various extinct related groups. Approximately 95% of living fish species are ray-finned fish, belonging to the class Actinopterygii, with around 99% of those being teleosts. The earliest organisms that can be classified as fish were soft-bodied chordates that first appeared during the Cambrian period. Although they lacked a true spine, they possessed notochords which allowed them to be more agile than their invertebrate counterparts. Fish would continue to evolve through the Paleozoic era, diversifying into a wide variety of forms. Many fish of the Paleozoic developed external armor that protected them from predators. The first fish with jaws appeared in the Silurian period, after which many (such as sharks) became formidable marine predators rather than just the prey of arthropods ...

Apogonops
The three-spined cardinalfish (''Apogonops anomalus'') is a species of fish in the family Acropomatidae, the temperate ocean-basses or lanternbellies. It is endemic to the marine waters off of Australia.Yamanoue, Y. (2016): Revision of the genus ''Verilus'' (Perciformes: Acropomatidae) with a description of a new species. ''Journal of Fish Biology, 89 (5): 2375–2398.'' This fish occurs as deep as , but usually stays between . It grows to a length of SL. Hector's lanternfish (''Lampanyctodes hectoris'') is an important part of its diet.Blaber, S.J.M. & Bulman, C.M. (1987)Diets of fishes of the upper continental slope of eastern Tasmania: content, calorific values, dietary overlap and trophic relationships.''Marine Biology 95 (3): 345-56.''

Neoscombrops
''Neoscombrops'' is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes from the family Acropomatidae, the lanternbellies or glowbellies. The fish in this genus are found in the Atlantic Pacific and Indian Oceans. Species The following species are classified within the genus: * ''Neoscombrops atlanticus'' ( Mochizuki & Sano, 1984) * ''Neoscombrops cynodon'' (Regan, 1921) (Silver splitfin) * ''Neoscombrops pacificus'' Mochizuki, 1979 Taxonomy ''Neoscombrops'' was created by the Scottish South African zoologist John Dow Fisher Gilchrist (1866–1926) in 1922 when he described ''Neoscombrops annectens''. However, some authorities merge this genus with ''Verilus''. Abstract Fishbase FishBase is a global species database of fish species (specifically finfish). It is the largest and most extensively accessed online database on adult finfish on the web.

Verilus Sordidus
''Verilus sordidus'' is a species of fish in the family Acropomatidae, the temperate ocean-basses or lanternbellies. It is native to the central western Atlantic Ocean. It is found in the waters off Cuba to Colombia and Venezuela where it is found at depths shallower than over rocky bottoms.Yamanoue, Y. (2016): Revision of the genus ''Verilus'' (Perciformes: Acropomatidae) with a description of a new species. ''Journal of Fish Biology, 89 (5): 2375–2398.'' This species grows to a length of TL though most do not exceed . It can be distinguished from other fish in its genus by several characters, including villiform teeth on the upper jaw and conical teeth on the lower, with large canine teeth In mammalian oral anatomy, the canine teeth, also called cuspids, dog teeth, or (in the context of the upper jaw) fangs, eye teeth, vampire teeth, or vampire fangs, are the relatively long, pointed teeth. They can appear more flattened however ..., and the number of spines and rays ...

Genus
Genus ( plural genera ) is a taxonomic rank used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses. In the hierarchy of biological classification, genus comes above species and below family. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus. :E.g. '' Panthera leo'' (lion) and '' Panthera onca'' (jaguar) are two species within the genus ''Panthera''. ''Panthera'' is a genus within the family Felidae. The composition of a genus is determined by taxonomists. The standards for genus classification are not strictly codified, so different authorities often produce different classifications for genera. There are some general practices used, however, including the idea that a newly defined genus should fulfill these three criteria to be descriptively useful: # monophyly – all descendants of an ancestral taxon are grouped together (i.e. phylogenetic analysis should c ...
