Equulites
''Equulites'' is a genus of ponyfishes native to the Indian Ocean and the western Pacific Ocean. Analysis of mitochondrial DNA published in 2017 has suggested that ''Equulites elongates'' is in fact a species group made up of three species ''Equulites aethopos'', ''Equulites elongates'' and ''Equulites popei''. Species There are currently 10 recognized species in this genus: * ''Equulites absconditus'' Prosanta Chakrabarty, Chakrabarty & John Stephen Sparks, Sparks, 2010 * ''Equulites aethopos'' Hiromi Suzuki (zoologist), Suzuki & Seishi Kimura, Kimura, 2017 (Red Sea elongated ponyfish) * ''Equulites elongatus'' (Albert Günther, Günther, 1874) (Slender ponyfish) * ''Equulites klunzingeri'' (Franz Steindachner, Steindachner, 1898) * ''Equulites laterofenestra'' (John Stephen Sparks, Sparks & Prosanta Chakrabarty, Chakrabarty, 2007) * ''Equulites leuciscus'' (Albert Günther, Günther, 1860) (Whipfin ponyfish) * ''Equulites lineolatus'' (Achille Valenciennes, Valenciennes, 1835) ...

Equulites Klunzingeri
''Equulites klunzingeri'', or Klunzinger's ponyfish, is a marine, demersal species of ponyfish from the family Leiognathidae which was originally found only in the Red Sea. It is colonizing the Mediterranean as part of the Lessepsian migration through the Suez Canal. Description ''Equulites klunzingeri'' has a laterally compressed, oblong body, large eyes and a downward pointing, protractile mouth, which can project to the same length as the head and with jaws line with villiform teeth. It has a long dorsal fin, starting above the pelvic fins, which has seven spines, the second of which is very long, and 15-16 soft rays. The anal fin has three spines and 15-16 soft rays. The dorsal and anal fin rays are sheathed in a scaly membrane. The tail is forked and the lateral lines continues on to the caudal peduncle. The skin is covered in small cycloid scales. The upper part of the body is mottled grey marked with pink blotches while the belly is silvery white and there is a black line ...

Equulites Elongatus
''Equulites elongatus'', the slender ponyfish, also called the elongate ponyfish, elongate slimy or elongated slipmouth, is a marine fish of the family Leiognathidae native to the western Pacific and Indian Oceans. Description ''Equulites elongatus'' has an elongated body compared to its congeners but has the downward pointing, protractile mouth typical of the family Leiognathidae situated underneath the pointed snout. The single dorsal fin has 8 spines and 16 soft rays. the first spine is small, the subsequent three spines are larger and they then decrease sharply in size towards the caudal fin while the dorsal rays are nearly equal in length. The anal fin has 3 spines and 14 soft rays, with the first spine being rather small and forked. The pectoral fin has 16 soft rays while the small pelvic fin a single spine and five soft rays with its origin is slightly in front of the origin of the pectoral fin. The head lacks any scales, while the cheek and breast are covered in small sc ...

Equulites Popei
''Equulites popei'', Pope's ponyfish, is a species of marine ray-finned fish, a ponyfish from the family Leiognathidae. It has a wide Indo-Pacific distribution which extends from the Red Sea east to the western Pacific Ocean. It has entered the Mediterranean as a Lessepsian migrant. It was formerly considered to be synonymous with the elongate ponyfish ('' Equulites elongatus''). Description ''Equulites popei'' differs from the other members of the ''E. elongatus'' species complex by having an eye diameter which is 82–137% of the length of the head to the rear of the eye. In addition, the distance from pelvic fin insertion to the centre of anus is a third to a half of that from the pelvic fin insertion to origin of the anal fin. The upper flanks have large dark blotches which occasionally create up to 2 ring markings and there are sometinmes up to 5 dark spots which are less than 50% of the diameter of the pupil. The head and lower flanks and belly are nearly a uniformly sil ...

Prosanta Chakrabarty
Prosanta Chakrabarty (born November 25, 1978) is an American ichthyologist and professor of ichthyology, evolution and systematics at Louisiana State University. He studied at McGill University where he received a bachelor of science in Applied Zoology and at the University of Michigan where he obtained his PhD in Ecology and Evolution. Among other professional positions he was a Program Director for the National Science Foundation and is currently the President-Elect of the American Society of Ichthyologist and Herpetologist. He was named a TED Fellow in 2016, and a TED Senior Fellow in 2018. He was named an Elected Fellow of the AAAS for "distinguished contributions to evolutionary biology, focusing on the bioluminescent systems and historical biogeography of freshwater fishes, and for effectively communicating science to the public." Research Chakrabarty's research has taken him to over 30 countries and has described over 13 new species of fishes. In 2014 he discovered ...
