Pseudobatos Lentiginosus
''Pseudobatos'' is a genus of fish in the Rhinobatidae family. Although its constituent species were previously assigned to ''Rhinobatos'', recent authors treat it as distinct. They are found in warmer coastal parts of the Americas, ranging from northern Chile to California (USA) on the Pacific side, and from northeastern Argentina to North Carolina (USA) on the Atlantic side. They are brownish or grayish above, and reach up to depending on the exact species. Species There are nine currently recognized species in this genus: * ''Pseudobatos buthi'' K.M. Rutledge, 2019 (Spadenose guitarfish) * ''Pseudobatos glaucostigmus'' ( D. S. Jordan & C. H. Gilbert, 1883) (Speckled guitarfish) * ''Pseudobatos horkelii'' ( J. P. Müller & Henle, 1841) (Brazilian guitarfish) * ''Pseudobatos lentiginosus'' (Garman, 1880) (Atlantic guitarfish) * ''Pseudobatos leucorhynchus'' ( Günther, 1867) (Whitesnout guitarfish) * '' Pseudobatos percellens'' (Walbaum, 1792) (Chola guitarfish) * ''Pseudoba ...

Johann Julius Walbaum
Johann Julius Walbaum (30 June 1724 – 21 August 1799) was a German physician, naturalist and fauna taxonomist. Works As an ichthyologist, he was the first to describe many previously unknown fish species from remote parts of the globe, such as the Great Barracuda (''Sphyraena barracuda''), the Chum salmon (''Oncorhynchus keta'') from the Kamchatka River in Siberia, and the curimatá-pacú (''Prochilodus marggravii'') from the São Francisco River in Brazil. He was also the first to observe gloves as a preventative against infection in medical surgery. In 1758, the gloves he observed were made from the cecum of the sheep, rather than rubber, which had not yet been discovered. Legacy The Natural History Museum in Lübeck, opened in 1893, was based on Walbaum's extensive scientific collection, which was lost during the Second World War World War II or the Second World War, often abbreviated as WWII or WW2, was a world war that lasted from 1939 to 1945.

David Starr Jordan
David Starr Jordan (January 19, 1851 – September 19, 1931) was the founding president of Stanford University, serving from 1891 to 1913. He was an ichthyologist during his research career. Prior to serving as president of Stanford University, he had served as president of Indiana University from 1884 to 1891. Starr was also a strong supporter of eugenics, and his published views expressed a fear of "race-degeneration" and asserted that cattle and human beings are "governed by the same laws of selection". He was an antimilitarist since he believed that war killed off the best members of the gene pool, and he initially opposed American involvement in World War I. Early life and career Jordan was born in Gainesville, New York, and grew up on a farm in upstate New York. His parents made the unorthodox decision to educate him at a local girls' high school. His middle name, Starr, does not appear in early census records, and was apparently self-selected; he had begun using ...

Biography Henle was born in Fürth, Bavaria, to Simon and Rachel Diesbach Henle (Hähnlein). He was Jewish. After studying medicine at Heidelberg and at Bonn, where he took his doctor's degree in 1832, he became prosector in anatomy to Johannes Müller at Berlin. During the six years he spent in that position he published a large amount of work, including three anatomical monographs on new species of animals and papers on the structure of the lymphatic system, the distribution of epithelium in the human body, the structure and development of the hair, and the formation of mucus and pus. In 1840, he accepted the chair of anatomy at Zürich an ...
