Gillellus Inescatus
''Gillellus inescatus'', the flagfin stargazer,Williams, J.T., 2002 [ref. 26522''Three new species of blennioid shore fishes discovered at Navassa Island, Caribbean Sea.''Aqua, Journal of Ichthyology and Aquatic Biology v. 6 (no. 1): 11-16. is a species of tropical sand stargazer native to the Caribbean sea. Etymology The specific epithet "''inescatus''" is derived from the Latin word "''inescare''" (to bait). It refers to the structure at the back of the head and front of the spine, shaped like an anglerfish's esca, which Williams theorizes may be used as bait for luring prey, in a style similar to anglerfish, or as a means to attract potential mates. The species' common name, "flagfin stargazer" refers to the structure's resemblance to a small flag atop the blenny's spine. Description Based on the single known specimen, ''Gillellus inescatus'' can reach a length of .

Sand Stargazers
Sand stargazers are blennioids; perciform marine fish of the family Dactyloscopidae. Found in temperate to tropical waters of North and South America; some may also inhabit brackish environments. The giant sand stargazer (''Dactylagnus mundus'') is the largest at 15 cm in length; all other species are under 10 cm. These blennies are named well: sand stargazers have protruding eyes on the top of their heads, fixed in an upward gaze, and may be on stalks. Their large mouths are also upturned. The dorsal fin is long and may or may not be continuous, with seven to 23 spines; the pelvic fins are situated below the throat and possess one spine. The anal fin is equally long and flowing. The mouth is fringed, and like the upper edge of the operculum (the gill cover), this fringe is divided into finger-like structures. The body is greatly elongated, and coloration is generally drab. As their name would suggest, sand stargazers spend most of their time buried in sandy substrat ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
