Salariinae is one of two subfamilies in the combtooth blenny family Blenniidae, it is the largest of the two subfamilies in the Blennidae with 43 genera. The species in this subfamily are mainly marine, with a few species which are found in freshwater or brackish water, and a few species are known to spend much time out of the water.
Classification
[edit]The Salariinae was formerly divided into at least two tribes, the Parablenniini and the Salariini, largely based on their dentition. However, the differences between these two tribes were not consistent, many taxa showed intermediate characteristics and it has been suggested that the subfamily should not be divided into tribes. Subject to further study, the Parablenniini and Salarinae should be treated as synonyms.[2]
