Ophiogobius jenynsi
Species of fish
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ophiogobius jenynsi is a species of ray-finned fish from the biology Gobiidae, the true gobies. It is a demersal, marine species which is found off the coast of Chile in the intertidal zone. It feeds mainly on crustaceans.[2] This species was originally named as Gobius ophicephalus by Leonard Jenyns in 1842, subsequently misspelt as ophiocephalus, but this name was preoccupied by Pallas's 1811 Gobius ophiocephalus,[3] Hoese renamed the species in honour of Jenyns in 1976.[4] This is the only species in its genus.[3]
