Pseudoblennius is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Cottidae, the typical sculpins. These fishes are found in the northwestern Pacific Ocean.
Taxonomy
[edit]Pseudoblennius was first used as a name by Coenraad Jacob Temminck and Hermann Schlegel in 1850 but they did not designate a type species. Albert Günther designated P. percoides as the type species in 1861.[1] The 5th edition of Fishes of the World classifies the genus Pseudoblennius within the subfamily Cottinae of the family Cottidae,[2] however, other authors classify the genus within the subfamily Psychrolutinae of the family Psychrolutidae.[1]
Species
[edit]There are currently six recognized species in this genus:[3]
- Pseudoblennius argenteus (Döderlein, 1887)
- Pseudoblennius cottoides (J. Richardson, 1848)
- Pseudoblennius marmoratus (Döderlein, 1884)
- Pseudoblennius percoides Günther, 1861
- Pseudoblennius totomius D. S. Jordan & Starks, 1904
- Pseudoblennius zonostigma D. S. Jordan & Starks, 1904
