Cepola
''Cepola'' is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the bandfish family, Cepolidae. The name red bandfish is applied to all members of this genus, but particularly ''C. macrophthalma'', and generally not ''C. australis'', which is also known as the Australian bandfish. Taxonomy ''Cepola'' was first formally described as a genus in 1764 by Carolus Linnaeus with ''Ophidion macrophthalmum'' as the type species by monotypy. The generic name ''Cepola'' means "little onion", Linnaeus did not explain why he chose this name. It is likely derived from ''cepollam'' or ''cepulam'', which in 1686 was said by Francis Willughby to be local names among Roman fishermen for the similar "''Fierasfer"'', a pearlfish, to which Linnaeus believed ''Cepola macrophthalma'' was related. As well as this, in 1872 Giovanni Canestrini reported that in Naples the common name for ''C. macropthalma'' is ''Pesce cipolia'' meaning “onion fish”.

Cepola Macrophthalma
''Cepola macrophthalma'' is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Cepolidae, the bandfishes. It is found in the eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean from Senegal north to the British Isles. This species is known as the red bandfish, though this name is also given to other members of the genus ''Cepola''. Taxonomy ''Cepola macrophthalma'' was first formally described as ''Ophidion macrophthalmum'' in 1758 by Carl Linnaeus with the type locality given as Algiers. In 1764 Linnaeus described the genus ''Cepola'' with ''O. macrophthalmum'' as its type species by monotypy. The specific name, ''macrophthalma'' is a compound of ''macro'' meaning "large" and ''ophthalmus'' which means "eyed", a reference to the large eyes which are larger than a third of the length of the head. Distribution It is found on the coast and inner continental shelf of the eastern Atlantic between northern Senegal and Scotland and the Mediterranean west of the Aegean Sea and the Nil ...

''Cepola pauciradiata'', the Guinean bandfish (also known as the red bandfish, a name given to most of the other members of the genus ''Cepola'', especially the European species, ''Cepola macrophthalma''), is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Cepolidae, the bandfishes.. It is found on the Atlantic coast of Africa. Taxonomy ''Cepola pauciradiata'' was first formally described in 1950 by the French ichthyologist Jean Cadenat with the type locality given as the coast of Senegal.

Cepola Australis
The Australian bandfish (''Cepola australis'') is a species of bandfish in the family Cepolidae. It has been reported from the Indo-Pacific coastal regions of Australia, New Zealand, and New Caledonia, although some of these records may represent confusion with other species. Taxonomy The Australian bandfish was first formally described in 1899 by the Irish born Australian ichthyologist James Douglas Ogilby with the type locality given as Port Jackson, New South Wales. The specific name ''australis'' means "southern", as it the time Ogilby described it this was thought to be the southernmost species in the genus ''Cepola'', as '' C. haastii'' of New Zealand was then placed in the monotypic ''Hypolycodes''. The taxon currently regarded as ''Cepola australis'' may represent more than one species.

Cepolinae
Cepolinae is one of two subfamilies of marine ray-finned fish belonging to family Cepolidae, the bandfishes. Taxonomy Cepolinae was named by the French polymath Constantine Samuel Rafinesque as the family Cepolidae. It became a subfamily when the genus ''Owstonia'' was added to the Cepolidae, having previously been considered a monotypic family Owstonidae, and now considered to be the subfamily Owstoninae. The name, Cepolinae, is derived from the Linnaeus’ 1764 name for the type genus, ''Cepola'' and means "little onion", Linnaeus did not explain why he chose this name. It is likely derived from ''cepollam'' or ''cepulam'', which in 1686 was said by Francis Willughby to be local names among Roman fishermen for the similar "''Fierasfer"'', a pearlfish, to which Linnaeus believed ''Cepola macrophthalma'' was related. As well as this, in 1872 Giovanni Canestrini reported that in Naples the common name for ''C. macropthalma'' is ''Pesce cipolia'' meaning “onion fish”. Genera Th ...

Bandfish
The bandfishes, family Cepolidae, are 23 species of marine ray-finned fishes, They are native to the East Atlantic and Indo-Pacific wherethey dig burrows in sandy or muddy seabeds and eat zooplankton. Taxonomy The bandfishes belong to the family Cepolidae, which is the only member of the superfamily Cepoloidea in the suborder Percoidei of the order Perciformes. The family was created in 1810 by the French naturalist Constantine Samuel Rafinesque. The placement of the Cepolidae within the Perciformes is not agreed by all authors, some authors place the family with the Priacanthidae in the order Priacanthiformes, an order which is considered to be ''incertae sedis'' within the series Eupercaria. Subfamilies and genera The family Cepolidae has 23 species which are arranged into two subfamilies and three genera as follows: * Subfamily Cepolinae Rafinesque, 1815 ** Genus ''Acanthocepola'' Bleeker, 1874 ** Genus ''Cepola'' Linnaeus, 1764 *Subfamily Owstoninae Jordan, Tanaka & Sny ...

''Acanthocepola'' is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Cepolidae the bandfishes. They are native to the Indian Ocean and the western Pacific Ocean. Taxonomy ''Acanthocepola'' is classified within the subfamily Cepolinae. The genus was first formally described in 1874 by the Dutch physician and ichthyologist Pieter Bleeker who designated ''Cepola krusensternii'', which had been described by Coenraad Jacob Temminck & Hermann Schlegel in 1845, as the type species, although the genus was also monotypic. The genus name, ''Acanthocepola'' is a compound of ''acanthus'' meaning "spine" and ''Cepola'' the type genus of the family Cepolidae, a reference to the spines on the edge of the preoperculum.

Mithaecus
Mithaecus (Ancient Greek: Μίθαικος) was a cook and cookbook author of the late 5th century BC. A Greek-speaking native of Sicily at a time when the island was rich and highly civilized, Mithaecus is credited with having brought knowledge of Sicilian gastronomy to Greece. Specifically, according to sources of varying reliability, he worked in Sparta, from which he was expelled as a bad influence, and in Athens. He earned an unfavourable mention in Plato's dialogue ''Gorgias''. Mithaecus is the first known author of any cookbook, and his is the first known (if not extant) Greek cookbook. One very brief recipe survives from it, thanks to a quotation in the ''Deipnosophistae'' of Athenaeus. It is in the Doric dialect of Greek (appropriate both to Greek Sicily and to Sparta) and describes, in one line, how to deal with the fish ''Cepola macrophthalma'', a ribbon-like fish here called ''tainia'' (known in Italian as ''cepola'' and in modern Greek as ''kordella''): :''Tainia'': gu ...

10th Edition Of Systema Naturae
The 10th edition of ''Systema Naturae'' is a book written by Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus and published in two volumes in 1758 and 1759, which marks the starting point of zoological nomenclature. In it, Linnaeus introduced binomial nomenclature for animals, something he had already done for plants in his 1753 publication of '' Species Plantarum''. Starting point Before 1758, most biological catalogues had used polynomial names for the taxa included, including earlier editions of ''Systema Naturae''. The first work to consistently apply binomial nomenclature across the animal kingdom was the 10th edition of ''Systema Naturae''. The International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature therefore chose 1 January 1758 as the "starting point" for zoological nomenclature, and asserted that the 10th edition of ''Systema Naturae'' was to be treated as if published on that date. Names published before that date are unavailable, even if they would otherwise satisfy the rules. The only ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
