Bovichtus
''Bovichtus'' is a genus of fish in the family Bovichtidae found in the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Ocean. Taxonomy ''Bovichtus'' was formally described as a genus in 1832 by the French zoologist Achille Valenciennes with ''Callionymus diacanthus'', which had been described by the Scottish botanist and officer in the British Army Dugald Carmichael in 1819 with the type locality given as Tristan da Cunha in the South Atlantic, as the type species. The name of the genus, ''Bovichtus'', is derived from bovus meaning "bull" and ''ichthys'' which means fish, based on the local name for ''Bovichtus'' species in Valparaiso, Chile, ''torrito'', meaning "little bull". Species There are currently 8 recognized species in this genus: * '' Bovichtus angustifrons'' Regan, 1913 * '' Bovichtus argentinus'' MacDonagh, 1931 * '' Bovichtus chilensis'' Regan, 1913 * '' Bovichtus diacanthus'' ( Carmichael, 1819) * '' Bovichtus oculus'' Hardy, 1989 * '' Bovichtus psychrolutes'' Günther, 1860 ( ...

Bovichtus Diacanthus
''Bovictus diacanthus'', the Tristan klipfish, is a species of marine ray-finned fish, a temperate icefish or thornfish, belonging to the family Bovichtidae. It is endemic to two isolated, small island groups in the South Atlantic. Taxonomy ''Bovichtus diacanthus'' was first formally described in 1819 as ''Callionymus diacanthus''by the Scottish botanist and officer in the British Army Dugald Carmichael with the type locality given as Tristan da Cunha in the South Atlantic, When Achille Valenciennes described the genus ''Bovichtus'' in 1832 the only species he classified within the new genus was Carmichael's ''C. diacanthus'' which is therefore the type species of ''Bovichtus''. The specific name ''diacanthus'' means "two spines", a reference to the two robust, needle-shaped and sharp spines on the operculum which are erected when the gill membrane is expanded. Description ''Bovichtus diacanthus'' is species in the genus ''Bovichtus'' and these fishes are characterised by havi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Bovichtus Angustifrons
''Bovichtus angustifrons'', the dragonet, horny, horny thornfish, marblefish, thornfish or variegated marblefish, is a species of marine ray-finned fish, a temperate icefish or thornfish, belonging to the family Bovichtidae. It is endemic to southeastern Australia and Tasmania on rocky reefs in shallow waters. Taxonomy ''Bovichtus angustifrons'' was first formally described in 1913 by the British ichthyologist Charles Tate Regan with the type locality given as Tasmania. The specific name ''angustifrons'' is a compound of ''angustus'' which means narrow and ''frons''meaning "front", "face" or "brow", a reference to the narrower space between the eyes in comparison with '' B. diacanthus'' and '' B. variegatus''. Description ''Bovichtus angustifrons'' has a large head and a thick anterior part of the body, the body tapers towards the caudal fin. There is an obvious spine on upper angle on the margin of the operculum and it has large eyes. The pelvic fins are large, originating und ...

Bovichtus Variegatus
''Bovichtus variegatus'', the thornfish, is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Bovichtidae, the temperate icefishes or thornfishes. It is endemic to New Zealand. Taxonomy ''Bovichtus variegatus'' was first formally described in 1846 by the Scottish naval surgeon, naturalist and Arctic explorer Sir John Richardson with the type locality given as Port Jackson in New South Wales, probably erroneously because this species has not been recorded in Australia since. The specific name ''variegatus'' means “variable” and was given to emphasise how the markings of this fish differ from those of '' B. diacanthus''. Description ''Bovichtus variegatus'' has a body which is completely lacking scales with a broad, flattened head. They have large, upward pointing eyes and a broad mouth. They have a robust upward and backwards pointing spine on each gill cover to the rear of the eyes. There is a double dorsal fin, the first one is short and spiny, the number ...

Bovichtidae
Bovichtidae, the temperate icefishes or thornfishes, is a family of marine ray-finned fishes, classified in the suborder Notothenioidei of the order Perciformes. They are native to coastal waters off Australia, New Zealand, and South America. Systematics Bovichtidae was first formally described as a family in 1861 by the American ichthyologist Theodore Nicholas Gill. The family name was spelled Bovichthyidae in the 4th edition of J. S. Nelson's '' Fishes of the World'' but has been reverted to Bovichtidae in the 5th edition. Phylogenetic analysis of morphological characters has revealed that the family Bovichtidae may not be a monophyletic group. Bovichtidae is one of two families of the suborder Notothenioidei with a primarily non-Antarctic distribution, the other being Pseudaphritidae. The name of the family is taken from its type genus, ''Bovichtus'' which is derived from bovus meaning “bull” and ''ichthys'' which means fish, based on the local name for ''Bovichtus'' sp ...

Type Species
In zoological nomenclature, a type species (''species typica'') is the species name with which the name of a genus or subgenus is considered to be permanently taxonomically associated, i.e., the species that contains the biological type specimen(s). Article 67.1 A similar concept is used for suprageneric groups and called a type genus. In botanical nomenclature, these terms have no formal standing under the code of nomenclature, but are sometimes borrowed from zoological nomenclature. In botany, the type of a genus name is a specimen (or, rarely, an illustration) which is also the type of a species name. The species name that has that type can also be referred to as the type of the genus name. Names of genus and family ranks, the various subdivisions of those ranks, and some higher-rank names based on genus names, have such types.

Richardson wrote the sections on geology, botany and ichthyology for the official account of the expedition. Franklin and Richardson returned to Canada in 1825 and went overland by fur trade routes to the mouth of the Mackenzie River. Franklin was to go as far west as possible and Richardson was to go east to the mouth of the Coppermine River. These ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
