Haemulinae
Haemulinae is a subfamily of the Haemulidae and consists of the genera of that family which are regarded as being of New World origin, although they are now widespread. The subfamily is distinguished from the Plectorhynchinae by having a short dorsal fin which contains 13-16 soft rays, as opposed to the long dorsal fin with 17-26 soft rays of the subfamily Plectorhynchinae. Genera The following genera are included in the Haemulinae: * ''Anisotremus'' Gill 1861 * '' Boridia'' Cuvier, 1830 * ''Brachydeuterus'' Gill, 1862 * '' Conodon'' Cuvier, 1830 * '' Emmelichthyops'' Schultz, 1945 * ''Haemulon'' Cuvier, 1829 * '' Haemulopsis'' Steindachner, 1869 * ''Isacia'' Jordan & Fesler, 1893 * '' Microlepidotus'' Gill, 1862 * ''Orthopristis'' Girard, 1858 * '' Parakuhlia'' Pellegrin, 1913 * ''Pomadasys'' Lacépède, 1802 * '' Xenichthys'' Gill, 1862 * ''Xenistius'' Jordan & Gilbert, 1883 * '' Xenocys'' Jordan & Bollman, 1890 The genus '' Brachygenys'' is recognised by some auth ...

Haemulidae
Haemulidae is a family of fishes in the order Perciformes known commonly as grunts. It is made up of the two subfamilies Haemulinae (grunters) and Plectorhynchinae (sweetlips), which in turn contain about 133 species in 19 genera. These fish are found in tropical fresh, brackish, and salt waters around the world. They are bottom-feeding predators, and named for the ability of Haemulinae to produce sound by grinding their teeth. They also engage in mutualistic relationship with cleaner gobies of genus ''Elacatinus'', allowing them to feed on ectoparasites on their bodies.

Xenocys Jessiae
''Xenocys jessiae'', the black-striped salema, is a species of marine ray-finned fish, a grunt belonging to the family Haemulidae. It is endemic to the eastern Pacific Ocean.

The head is conical in shape and has large eyes and a short diagonal mouth with a protruding lower jaw. It has very small teeth which are set in bands on the flaws and the palate. The dorsal fin is not continuous, the anterior spiny portion is completely divided from the posterior soft- rayed part. The dorsal fin contains 10 spines in the anterior portion and a single spine and 13-14 soft rays. The anal fin has 3 small spines and 10-11 soft rays. This species attains a maximum total length of . The back is dark silvery-grey in colour, frequently showing yellowish green, yellowish blue or blue-green tints. The colour shades to paler silver on the flanks and to silvery-white on the underparts. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

''Haemulon'' is a genus of fish in the grunt family known as the scaled-fin grunts. Most are found in the western Atlantic Ocean, with a few species known from the eastern Pacific Ocean.Rocha, L. A. and I. L. Rosa. (1999)New species of ''Haemulon'' (Teleostei: Haemulidae) from the northeastern Brazilian coast. ''Copeia'' (1999)2 447-52. This genus is considered to be one of the most important fish groups of the coral reefs of Brazil due to its commercial value and crucial ecological role.Pereira, P. H. C. and B. P. Ferreira.

Xenistius
''Xenistius'' is a genus of grunts native to the eastern Pacific Ocean. Species The currently recognized species in this genus are: * '' Xenistius californiensis'' ( Steindachner, 1876) (Californian salema) * '' Xenistius peruanus'' Hildebrand, 1946 Systematics The genus ''Haemulon'' was determined to be paraphyletic in molecular studies which showed ''Haemulon chrysargyreum'' clustered with ''Xenistius californianus''. The genus '' Brachygenys'' which had been created by Felipe Poey in 1868 was revived to include these species and ensure the monophyly of ''Haemulon''. The genus also includes the other species in ''Xenistius'' and '' Xenocys''. These changes are recognised by ''Catalog of Fishes Catalog of Fishes is a comprehensive on-line database and reference work on the scientific names of fish species and genera.
