Cheilodactylus
''Cheilodactylus'' is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Cheilodactylidae, known as morwongs, although this name is not unique to this family. They are found in the temperate waters of the southern hemisphere and in the North Pacific Ocean. Taxonomy ''Cheilodactylus'' was first formally described in 1803 by the French naturalist Bernard Germain de Lacépède when he described ''Cheilodactylus fasciatus'' which was its type species by monotypy. The traditional delimitation of the families Cheilodactlidae and Latridae is based on morphological differences, but the reliability of these differences has been called into doubt, and a phylogenetic analyses and genetics have not supported this arrangement. This has led to some authorities suggesting that the majority of species in Cheilodactylidae should be placed in Latridae. A result of this rearrangement is that the only species which would remain in Cheilodactylidae are ''Cheilodactylus fasciatus'' and ' ...

Morwong (genus)
''Morwong'' is a genus of marine ray-finned fish traditionally classified as a subgenus within the genus ''Cheilodactylus'' and as belonging to the family Cheilodactylidae found in oceans off Australia and New Zealand. They were formerly included in the genus ''Cheilodactylus'' in family Cheilodactylidae, but based on genetic and morphological analyses they have strongly suggested that the genus ''Morwong'' is a valid genus and should be placed in the family Latridae. Taxonomy ''Morwong'' was first used as a name for a genus in 1957 when the Australian ichthyologist Gilbert Percy Whitley designated ''Cheilodactylus fuscus'' as its type species by monotypy. It was, however, traditionally regarded as synonymous with ''Cheilodactylus''. The genus name is the name in Australian English, the origins of which are unknown, for a number of similar fish species, mostly in the families Cheilodactylidae and Latridae. Although the red morwong has usually been assigned to ''Cheilodactylus ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cheilodactylus Fasciatus
The redfingers (''Cheilodactylus fasciatus'') is a species of marine ray-finned fish, belonging to the family Cheilodactylidae, commonly referred to as morwongs. It is found only off the coasts of Namibia and South Africa, in rock pools and from shallow depths to 120 m, on rocky reef areas. Its length is up to 30 cm. Taxonomy The redfingers was first formally described in 1803 by the French naturalist Bernard Germain de Lacépède with the type locality given as the Cape of Good Hope. When Lacépède wrote his description this was the only species in the genus ''Cheilodactylus'' and so is its type species and that of the family Cheilodactylidae. Phylogenetic analyses and genetic studies of the morwongs have not supported the traditional arrangement of the families Cheilodactylidae and Latridae. This has led to some authorities suggesting that the majority of species in Cheilodactylidae should be placed in Latridae. A result of this rearrangement is that the only species ...

Cheilodactylus Pixi
The barred fingerfin (''Cheilodactylus pixi'') is a species of marine ray-finned fish, belonging to the family Cheilodactylidae, commonly referred to as morwongs. It is found only in the southeastern Atlantic and southwestern Indian Oceans off the coasts of South Africa. Taxonomy The barred fingerfin was first formally described in 1980 by the South African ichthyologist Margaret Mary Smith with the type locality given as off the mouth of the Kowie River in the Eastern Cape in South Africa. Phylogenetic analyses and genetic studies of the morwongs have not supported the traditional arrangement of the families Cheilodactylidae and Latridae. This has led to some authorities suggesting that the majority of species in Cheilodactylidae should be placed in Latridae. A result of this rearrangement is that the only species which would remain in Cheilodactylidae are this species and '' C. fasciatus'', both from southern Africa. This is because these analyses resolved the genus ''Cheilod ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cheilodactylus Spectabilis
The red moki (''Cheilodactylus spectabilis'') also known as the banded morwong, brown-banded morwong, carp or nanua is a species of marine ray-finned fish, traditionally regarded as belonging to the family Cheilodactylidae, commonly referred to as morwongs. It is found off southern Australia and the North Island of New Zealand Taxonomy The red moki was first formally described in 1872 by Frederick Wollaston Hutton with the type locality given as the Cook Straits in New Zealand. Although traditionally included in the genus ''Cheilodactylus'' in family Cheilodactylidae, based on genetic and morphological analyses it belongs in the genus ''Chirodactylus'' in family Latridae.Ludt, W.B., Burridge, C.P. & Chakrabarty, P. (2019). A taxonomic revision of Cheilodactylidae and Latridae (Centrarchiformes: Cirrhitoidei) using morphological and genomic characters. Zootaxa 585(1).

Cheilodactylidae
Cheilodactylidae , commonly called morwongs but also known as butterfish, fingerfins, jackassfish, sea carp, snappers, and moki, is a family of marine ray-finned fish. They are found in subtropical oceans in the Southern Hemisphere. The common name "morwong" is also used as a name for several unrelated fish found in Australian waters, such as the painted sweetlips (''Diagramma pictum''). The classification of the species within the Cheilodactylidae and the related Latridae is unclear. Taxonomy Cheilodactylidae is classified within the superfamily Cirrhitoidea, under the suborder Percoidei of the large order Perciformes. Molecular studies have also placed the superfamily within the order Centrarchiformes, although the Cirrhitoidea is confirmed as a monophyletic clade. The 5th Edition of ''Fishes of the World'' does not recognise Centrarchiformes and retains the superfamily within the order Perciformes. The family has four genera according to the 5th Edition of Fishes of the W ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Magpie Perch
The magpie perch (''Cheilodactylus (Pseudogoniistius) nigripes''), magpie morwong or black-striped morwong, is a species of marine ray-finned fish, traditionally regarded as belonging to the family Cheilodactylidae, the members of which are commonly known as morwongs. It is found off southern Australia and northern New Zealand from shallow depths to . Taxonomy The magpie perch was first formally described in 1850 by the Scottish naval surgeon, arctic explorer and naturalist Sir John Richardson with the type locality given as King George Sound in Western Australia. The specific name ''nigripes'' means “black foot”, referring to the colour of the ventral fins on a dried specimen. Although traditionally included in the genus ''Cheilodactylus'' in family Cheilodactylidae, genetic and morphological analyses strongly suggest that it belongs in its own genus, called ''Pseudogoniistius'', which is placed in the family Latridae. The name of the genus is a compound of ''pseudo' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Goniistius
''Goniistius'' is a subgenus of marine ray-finned fishes, traditionally classified as being within the genus ''Cheilodactylus'' and belonging to the family Cheilodactylidae, known as morwongs, although this name is not unique to this family and the true taxonomic placement of this taxon requires clarification. They are found in the Pacific Ocean and southeastern Indian Ocean. Taxonomy ''Goniistius'' was created as a subgenus of ''Cheilodactylus'' in 1862 by the American ichthyologist Theodore Nicholas Gill with ''Cheilodactylus zonatus'' designated as its type species. The name of the subgenus is a compound of ''gonio'' meaning “angle” and ''istios'' which means “sail”, Gill did not explain what his name alluded to but he may have been referring to the deep incision between spiny and soft-rayed parts of the dorsal fin of the type species. Genetic and morphological analyses of the family Cheolodactylidae have found that the family as traditionally arranged is polyphylet ...

Chirodactylus
''Chirodactylus'' is a genus of marine ray-finned fish, traditionally regarded as belonging to the family Cheilodactylidae, the members of which are commonly known as morwongs. They are native to the Atlantic, Indian and eastern Pacific oceans off southern Africa and South America. Taxonomy ''Chirodactylus'' was described as a genus in 1862 by the American ichthyologist Theodore Nicholas Gill with the South American ''Cheilodactylus antonii'', which had been described by Achille Valenciennes in 1833, as the type species by monotypy. Gill subsequently included two other species in ''Chirodactylus'', ''C. grandis'' and ''C, variegatus''. C. antonii was later shown to be a synonym of ''Cheilodactylus variegatus''. Chirodactylus was largely regarded as a synonym of Cheilodactylus until 1980 when the South African ichthyologist Margaret M. Smith resurrected it to include the three southern African species ''C. brachydactylus'', ''C. grandis'' and ''C. jessicalenorum'', as well as ''C ...

Latridae
Latridae commonly called trumpeters, is a family of marine ray-finned fish. They are found in temperate seas in the Southern Hemisphere. The classification of the species within the Latridae and the related Cheilodactylidae is unclear.They are fished commercially and for sport. Taxonomy Latridae is classified within the superfamily Cirrhitoidea, under the suborder Percoidei of the large order Perciformes. Molecular studies have also placed the superfamily within the order Centrarchiformes, although the Cirrhitoidea is confirmed as a monophyletic clade. The 5th Edition of ''Fishes of the World'' does not recognise Centrarchiformes and retains the superfamily within the order Perciformes. The family has three genera according to the 5th Edition of ''Fishes of the World'', however the authors of that book admit that further studies need to be carried out to resolve the true relationships of all the taxa within the Cirrhitoidea. Latridae was first formally desecrribed as a famil ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Christopher Paul Burridge
Christopher is the English version of a Europe-wide name derived from the Greek name Χριστόφορος (''Christophoros'' or '' Christoforos''). The constituent parts are Χριστός (''Christós''), "Christ" or "Anointed", and φέρειν (''phérein''), "to bear"; hence the "Christ-bearer". As a given name, 'Christopher' has been in use since the 10th century. In English, Christopher may be abbreviated as " Chris", "Topher", and sometimes "Kit". It was frequently the most popular male first name in the United Kingdom, having been in the top twenty in England and Wales from the 1940s until 1995, although it has since dropped out of the top 100. The name is most common in England and not so common in Wales, Scotland, or Ireland. People with the given name Antiquity and Middle Ages * Saint Christopher (died 251), saint venerated by Catholics and Orthodox Christians * Christopher (Domestic of the Schools) (fl. 870s), Byzantine general * Christopher Lekapenos (died 931), ...
