Blenniidae—combtooth blennies
Parablennius marmoreus (Poey, 1876)—seaweed blenny; USNM, I
Labrisomidae—scaly blennies
Labrisomus gobio (Valenciennes, 1836)—palehead blenny; USNM, I; Figure 145
Labrisomus haitiensis Beebe &Tee-Van, 1918—longfin blenny; USNM, I; Figure 146
Malacoctenus boehlkei Springer, 1959—diamond blenny; USNM, I; Figure 147
Paraclinus grandicomis (Rosen, 1911)—horned blenny; UF, USNM, I; Figure 148
Starksia atlantica Longley, 1934—smootheye blenny; USNM, I; Figures 149, 150
The Saba Bank population may be a distinct species in the species complex currently referred to as Starksia atlantica. This complex requires additional taxonomic study.
Starksia cf lepicoelia Böhlke & Springer, 1961—blackcheek blenny; USNM, I; Figures 151, 152
Females (Figure 151) lack the black spot on the cheek that is characteristic of mature males (Figure 152). The Saba Bank population may be a distinct species in the species complex currently referred to as Starksia lepicoelia. This complex requires additional taxonomic study.
Starksia melasma Williams & Mounts, 2003—black spot blenny; USNM, I
Starksia nanodes Böhlke & Springer, 1961—dwarf blenny; USNM, I; Figure 153
The Saba Bank population may be a distinct species in the species complex currently referred to as Starksia nanodes. This complex requires additional taxonomic study.
Chaenopsidae—tube blennies
Acanthemblemaria aspera (Longley, 1927)—roughhead blenny; USNM, I; Figures 154, 155, 156
Three different color patterns were observed at Saba Bank: juvenile/female (Figure 154), adult male (Figure 155), and a distinctive yellow, probably female, color morph (Figure 156). The adult male and the yellow morph were taken together at the same collecting station.
Emblemaria pandionis Evermann & Marsh, 1900—sailfin blenny; USNM, I; Figure 157
Emblemariopsis cf signifer (Ginsburg, 1942)—flagfin blenny; USNM, I; Figure 158
The signifer species complex ranges from Brazil throughout the Caribbean and includes a number of undescribed species in the Caribbean region. Additional taxonomic study is required to resolve the taxa.
Gobiesocidae—clingfishes
Acyrtus artius Briggs, 1955—papillate clingfish; USNM, I; Figures 159, 160, 161
