Bythitinae
Bythitinae is a subfamily of viviparous brotulas, one of the two subfamilies in the family Bythitidae. This subfamily is characterised by having the dorsal, caudal and anal fins combined. They are mostly found in temperate to tropical seas, from reefs to the benthopelagic zone, but some species from the North Atlantic Ocean occur in into Arctic waters. Genera The following genera are included in the subfamily Bythininae: * '' Acarobythites'' * ''Anacanthobythites'' * '' Bellottia'' * '' Bythites'' * '' Calamopteryx'' * '' Cataetyx'' * '' Diplacanthopoma'' * ''Ematops'' * ''Grammonus'' * ''Hastatobythites'' * ''Hephthocara'' * ''Microbrotula'' * '' Parasaccogaster''Nielsen, J.G., Schwarzhans, W. & Cohen, D.M.

Viviparous Brotulas
The viviparous brotulas form a family, the Bythitidae, of ophidiiform fishes.

Theodore Gill
Theodore Nicholas Gill (March 21, 1837 – September 25, 1914) was an American ichthyologist, mammalogist, malacologist and librarian. Career Born and educated in New York City under private tutors, Gill early showed interest in natural history. He was associated with J. Carson Brevoort in the arrangement of the latter's entomological and ichthyological collections before going to Washington D.C. in 1863 to work at the Smithsonian Institution.

He was librarian at the Smithsonian and also senior assistant to the Library of Congress. He was elected as a member of the American Philosophical Society in 1867. Gill was professor of zoology at George Washington University. He was also a member of the Megatherium Club at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.
