Halieutichthys bispinosus, the two-spine batfish or spiny batfish, is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Ogcocephalidae, the deep sea batfishes or seabats. This species is found in the Western Atlantic Ocean.
Taxonomy[edit]
Halieutichthys bispinosus was first formally described in 2010 by Ho Hsuan-Ching, Prosanta Chakrabarty and John Stephen Sparks with its type locality give as the Gulf of Mexico, off Florida at 7°24'11"N, 84°07'11"W.[2] This species was previously overlooked as H. aculeatus and, alongside H. intermedius, these three species form the aculeatus species complex within the genus Halieutichthys. H. intermedius also being described as a new species by Ho, Chakrabarty and Sparks in 2010.[3] The genus Halieutichthys is classified within the "Eastern Pacific/Western Atlantic clade" of the family Ogcocephalidae.[4] The family Ogcocephalidae is classified in the monotypic suborder Ogcocephaloidei within the order Lophiiformes, the anglerfishes in the 5th edition of Fishes of the World.[5]
Etymology[edit]
Halieutichthys bispinosus has the genus name Halieutichthys which combines the genus name Halieutaea, for the similarity of these fishes to the species in that genus, and ichthys, the Greek word for "fish". The specific name, bispinosus, means "two spined" , an allusion to well developed inner and outer tubercles behend the eye.[6]
