Cociella Heemstrai
''Cociella heemstrai'' is a species of demersal, marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Platycephalidae, the flatheads. It is found in the western Indian Ocean off eastern Africa and Madagascar. Its biology is little know but it is caught by fisheries. Taxonomy ''Cociella heemstrai'' was first formally described in 1996 by Leslie William Knapp with the type locality given as Kenya. These fishes were previously regarded as a population of the crocodile flathead (''C. crocodilus'') but were recognised as a valid species in 1996. Etymology The specific name honours the American-South African ichthyologist Philip C. Heemstra of the South African Institute for Aquatic Biodiversity in recognition of his assistance to Knapp's studies of flatheads. Description ''Cociella heemstrai'' is one of the species of '' Cociella'' which has 12 soft rays in the first dorsal fin and in the anal fin and have between 9 and 11 gill rakers on the first gill arch.

Cociella
''Cociella'' is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Platycephalidae, the flatheads. These fishes are found in the Indo-Pacific region. Taxonomy ''Cociella'' was first proposed as a genus in 1940 by the Australian ichthyologist Gilbert Percy Whitley as a replacement for ''Cocius'' which had been put forward by David Starr Jordan and Carl Leavitt Hubbs in 1925 but this name was unavailable as it was preoccupied by the antlion genus '' Cocius''., described by the Spanish entomologist Longinos Navás in 1921. Jordan and Hubbs designated ''Platycephalus crocodilus'', a species described by Georges Cuvier in 1829 but no types are known, as the type species of their genus and Whitley retained it as the type species of the replacement. The genus is classified within the family Playcephalidae, the flatheads. The name of the genus, ''Cociella'', is a diminutive form of the original name coined by Jordan and Hubbs which is thought to be a latinisation of the Japanese ...
