Triacanthoidei
Triacanthoidei is a suborder of ray-finned fishes belonging to the order Tetraodontiformes, which includes the pufferfishes, triggerfishes and related taxa. These benthic fishes are mainly found in the Indian Ocean with some of the spikefishes found in the Western Atlantic Ocean. Taxonomy Triacanthoidei was first proposed as a superfamily, the Triacanthoidea, in 1968 by the American ichthyologist James C. Tyler who placed it in the monotypic suborder Triacanthoidei. The 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World'' does not use the superfamily classification for this taxon, listing only the suborder and its constituent families within the order Tetraodontiformes. Etymology Triacanthoidei has its base in the name of the genus '' Triacanthus'' which prefixes ''acanthus'', meaning "thorn" or "spine" with ''tri'' , which means "three". This is a reference too the large first spine of the dorsal fin and the two large spines in the pelvic fin. The element ''oid'' is a contraction of ''oides'' ...

Trixiphichthys Weberi
''Trixiphichthys'', is a monospecific genus of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Triacanthidae, the triplespines or tripodfishes. The only species in this genus is ''Trixiphichthys weberi'', the blacktip tripodfish or longnosed tripodfish. This taxon is found in the Indo-West Pacific region. Taxonomy ''Trixiphichthys'' was first proposed as a monospecific genus in 1941 by the British ichthyologist Alec Fraser-Brunner with ''Triacanthus weberi'' designated as its type species. ''T. weberi'' was first formally described in 1910 by Banawari Lal Chaudhuri with its type locality given as Gopalpur, Odisha. This genus is classified within the family Triacanthida and, in 1968, James C. Tyler classified this family within the suborder Triacanthoidei alongside the Triacanthodidae. The fifth edition of ''Fishes of the World'' classifies the Triacanthoidei as a suborder of the order Tetraodontiformes. Etymology ''Trixiphichthys'', the genus name, is derived from the word ' ...

Triacanthus Biaculeatus
''Triacanthus biaculeatus'', also known as the short-nosed tripod fish, black-finned triple-spine, blacktail tripodfish, hollow-snouted tripodfish or silver tripodfish, is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Triacanthidae, the triplespines or tripodfishes. This species is found in the Indo-West Pacific region. Taxonomy ''Triacanthus biaculeatus'' was first formally described as ''Balistes biaculeatus'' in 1786 by the German physician and naturalist Marcus Elieser Bloch with its type locality given as the Indian Ocean. In 1817 Lorenz Oken classified ''B. aculeatus'' in the new monospecific genus '' Triacanthus'', so this species is the type species of the genus ''Triacanthus'' by monotypy. This genus is classified in the family Triacanthidae within the suborder Triacanthoidei alongside the Triacanthodidae. The 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World'' classifies the Triacanthoidei as suborder of the order Tetraodontiformes. Etymology ''Triacanthus biac ...

Triacanthidae
Triacanthidae, the triplespines or tripodfishes, is a family of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the order Tetraodontiformes, which also includes the pufferfishes, boxfishes, filefishes and related groups. The family is made up of four extant genera and three extinct genera which are known from fossils. Taxonomy Triacanthidae was first proposed as a family in 1859 by the Dutch physician, herpetologist and ichthyologist Pieter Bleeker, and, in 1968, James C. Tyler classified it within the suborder Triacanthoidei alongside the Triacanthodidae. The 5th edition of ''Fishes of the World'' classifies this as suborder of the order Tetraodontiformes. Genera Triacanthidae contains the following extant genera: Characteristics Triacanthidae triplespines's, like their relatives the triggerfishes and the filefishes first ray of the dorsal fin is formed to a spine.

Triacanthodes Anomalus
''Triacanthodes anomalus'', the red spikefish, is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Triacanthodidae, the spikefishes. This species is found in the Northwestern Pacific Ocean. Taxonomy ''Triacanthodes anomalus'' was first formally described as ''Tricanthus anomalus'' in 1850 by Coenraad Jacob Temminck and Hermann Schlegel, with its type locality given as the entrance to Ōmura Bay in Nagasaki, Japan. In 1857, Pieter Bleeker proposed the new monospecific genus '' Triacanthodes'' for ''T. anomalus'' and designated this species as its type species. This genus is the type genus of the family Triacanthodidae and of the subfamily Triacanthodinae. The fifth edition of ''Fishes of the World'' classifies the family Triacanthodidae in the suborder Triacanthoidei in the order Tetraodontiformes. Etymology ''Triacanthodes anomalus'' is classified in the genus ''Triacanthodes'', a name which suffixes ''-odes'', meaning "having the form of", onto ''Triacanthus'', ...

Hollardiinae
Hollardiinae is a subfamily of Marine life, marine Actinopterygii, ray-finned fishes belonging to the Family (biology), family Spikefish, Triacanthodidae, the spikefishes. This small subfamily comprises two genera and a total of five species and all, except one species, are found in the tropical and subtropical waters of the Western Atlantic Ocean. The exception is found in the western and central Pacific Ocean. Taxonomy Hollardiinae was first proposed as a subfamily of the family Triacanthodidae in 1968 by the American ichthyologist James C. Tyler. It is none of two subfmilies withion the family, the other being the Nominate (taxonomy), nominate, Triacanthodinae.

Tetraodontiformes
Tetraodontiformes (), also known as the Plectognathi, is an order of ray-finned fishes which includes the pufferfishes and related taxa. This order has been classified as a suborder of the order Perciformes, although recent studies have found that it, as the Tetraodontoidei, is a sister taxon to the anglerfish order Lophiiformes, called Lophiodei, and have placed both taxa within the Acanthuriformes. The Tetraodontiformes are represented by 10 extant families and at around 430 species overall. The majority of the species within this order are marine but a few may be found in freshwater. They are found throughout the world. Taxonomy Tetraodontiformes is a name first used for this order in 1940 by Lev Berg, the order was originally proposed in 1817 as the "''Les Plectognathes''", the Plectognathi. Cuvier divided this into two families ''"Les Gymnodontes"'' and ''"Les Sclerodermes"''. In 1940 Berg first used the term Tetraodontiformes for this order and this name is the curren ...

Order (biology)
Order () is one of the eight major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy. It is classified between family and class. In biological classification, the order is a taxonomic rank used in the classification of organisms and recognized by the nomenclature codes. An immediately higher rank, superorder, is sometimes added directly above order, with suborder directly beneath order. An order can also be defined as a group of related families. What does and does not belong to each order is determined by a taxonomist, as is whether a particular order should be recognized at all. Often there is no exact agreement, with different taxonomists each taking a different position. There are no hard rules that a taxonomist needs to follow in describing or recognizing an order. Some taxa are accepted almost universally, while others are recognized only rarely. The name of an order is usually written with a capital letter. For some groups of organisms, their orders may follow consist ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
