Lycodichthys is a genus of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Zoarcidae, the eelpouts. They are found in the Southern Ocean.
Taxonomy
Lycodichthys was first proposed as a monospecific genus in 1911 by the German zoologist Paul Pappenheim when he described L. antarcticus giving its type locality as the Gauss winter station on the coast of Kaiser Wilhelm II Land in Antarctica.[2][3] in n1962 the American ichthyologist Hugh Hamilton DeWitt described a second species in the genus, L. dearborni.[4] This genus is classified in the subfamily Lycodinae, one of four subfamilies in the family Zoarcidae, the eelpouts.[5]
Etymology
Lycodichthys combines the name of the Northern genus Lycodes with ichthys, meaning "fish", as this genus closely resembles Lycodes in the shape of the body and fins.Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page).
