Cirrhitichthys
''Cirrhitichthys'' is a genus of marine ray-finned fish, hawkfishes, from the family Cirrhitidae. They are found on tropical reefs in the Indian and western Pacific oceans. Some species can be found in the aquarium trade. Taxonomy ''Cirrhitichthys'' was first formally described in 1857 by the Dutch ichthyologist Pieter Bleeker. The type species designated by Bleeker was ''Cirrhites graphidopterus'' which had been described by him in 1853, although this taxon has subsequently been considered a synonym of ''Cirrhites aprinus'' which Georges Cuvier had described in 1829. The name of this genus is a compound of ''Cirrhitus'', referring to the similarity between the two genera, although there are differences in dentition, and ''ichthys'' meaning “fish”. Species The currently recognized species in this genus are: * '' Cirrhitichthys aprinus'' (G. Cuvier, 1829) (spotted hawkfish) * '' Cirrhitichthys aureus'' (Temminck & Schlegel, 1842) (yellow hawkfish) * '' Cirrhitichthys bleekeri ...

Cirrhitichthys Oxycephalus
The coral hawkfish (''Cirrhitichthys oxycephalus''), the pixy hawkfish or sharp-headed hawkfish, is a species of marine ray-finned fish, a hawkfish belonging to the family Cirrhitidae. It is native to tropical reefs of the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. It occasionally is found in the aquarium trade. Taxonomy The coral hawkfish was first formally described as ''Cirrhites oxycephalus'' in 1855 by the Dutch ichthyologist Pieter Bleeker with the type locality given as Ambon Island. The specific name is a compound of ''oxy'' meaning "pointed" and ''cephalus'' meaning "head", a reference to the sharp snout of this species. Description The coral hawkfish has an oval, moderately compressed body with a pointed snout which has a straight profile. There is a fringe of cirri on the posterior edge of the anterior nostril. The mouth is moderately large and has a row of small canine-like teeth on the outer jaw with a band of simple teeth on the inner jaws. They have teeth on the middl ...

Hawkfish
Cirrhitidae, the hawkfishes, are a family of marine perciform ray-finned fishes found in tropical seas and which are associated with coral reefs. Taxonomy The Cirrhitidae were first recognised as a family by the Scots-born Australian naturalist William Sharp Macleay in 1841. It is one of the 5 constituent families in the superfamily Cirrhitoidea which is classified in the suborder Percoidei of the order Perciformes. Within the Cirrhitoidea, the Cirrhitidae is probably the most basal family. They have been placed in the order Centrarchiformes by some authorities, as part of the superfamily Cirrhitoidea, however, the 5th edition of Fishes of the World does not recognise the Centrarchiformes. The name of the family is taken from that of the genus ''Cirrhitus'' which is derived from ''cirrhus'' meaning a "lock of hair" or "a barbel", thought to be a reference to lower, unbranched rays of the pectoral fins which Bernard Germain de Lacépède termed as “''barbillons''”, which mea ...

Charles Tate Regan
Charles Tate Regan FRS (1 February 1878 – 12 January 1943) was a British ichthyologist, working mainly around the beginning of the 20th century. He did extensive work on fish classification schemes. Born in Sherborne, Dorset, he was educated at Derby School and Queens' College, Cambridge and in 1901 joined the staff of the Natural History Museum, where he became Keeper of Zoology, and later director of the entire museum, in which role he served from 1927 to 1938. Regan was elected Fellow of the Royal Society in 1917. Regan mentored a number of scientists, among them Ethelwynn Trewavas, who continued his work at the British Natural History Museum. Species Among the species he described is the Siamese fighting fish (''Betta splendens''). In turn, a number of fish species have been named ''regani'' in his honour: *A Thorny Catfish '' Anadoras regani'' (Steindachner, 1908) *The Dwarf Cichlid '' Apistogramma regani'' *'' Apogon regani'' *A Catfish '' Astroblepus regani'' * ...

Georges Cuvier
Jean Léopold Nicolas Frédéric, Baron Cuvier (; 23 August 1769 – 13 May 1832), known as Georges Cuvier, was a French natural history, naturalist and zoology, zoologist, sometimes referred to as the "founding father of paleontology". Cuvier was a major figure in natural sciences research in the early 19th century and was instrumental in establishing the fields of comparative anatomy and paleontology through his work in comparing living animals with fossils. Cuvier's work is considered the foundation of vertebrate paleontology, and he expanded Linnaean taxonomy by grouping classes into phylum, phyla and incorporating both fossils and living species into the classification. Cuvier is also known for establishing extinction as a fact—at the time, extinction was considered by many of Cuvier's contemporaries to be merely controversial speculation. In his ''Essay on the Theory of the Earth'' (1813) Cuvier proposed that now-extinct species had been wiped out by periodic catastrophi ...
