Abstract
The chaenopsine blennies are an homogeneous group which may be considered a subfamily of the Clinidae, since the existing evidence is not enough to give them familial status. The subfamily includes eight genera: Mccoskerichthys, Coralliozetus, Acanthemblemaria, Ekemblemaria, Emblemaria, Hemiemblemaria, Lucayablennius, and Chaenopsis. The nominal genera Protemblemaria and Emblemariopsis are herewith considered synonyms of Coralliozetus, since they share two derived characters: small size and sexual dimorphism in the color of the head, and are rather similar in several other characteristics. The división of the West Indian Zoogeographical Province made by Briggs (1974) is unnatural, since the fish fauna of Belize, Florida and the Bahamas is very similar. I proposed two subprovinces. the Northern Caribbean-Antillean from Isla de San Andrés (12.5°N) in the western Caribbean to Cabo Catoche (21 5°N, México), southern Florida. Bahamas, Bermuda, and the Antilles; and the Southern Caribbean from Costa Rica to the island of Trinidad. Eight of the thirteen chaenopsines endemic to the Southern Caribbean Subprovince belong to genera, subgenera, or species-groups of Chaenopsinae more widety distributed in the eastern Pacific than in the Caribbean, being therefore pacificophile species. There are 23 species of chaenopsine blennies in the southern Caribbean, which is 61% of the total West Indian fauna of the group, while in the Northern Caribbean-Antillean Subprovince the number of known species is 20.
Los chaenopsinos son un grupo homogéneo de peces que puede ser considerado como una subfamilia de los Clinidae, debido a que la evidencia existente no es suficiente para darles estatus de familia. La subfamilia incluye ocho géneros: Mccoskericbthys, Coralliozetus, Acanthemblemaria, Ekemblemaria, Emblemaria, Hemiemblemaria, Lucayablennius y Chaenopsis. Los géneros nominales Protemblemaría y Emblemariopsis son considerados aquí sinónimos de Coralliozetus ya que comparten dos caracteres derivados: tamaño pequeño y coloración de la cabeza sexualmente dimórfica y son relativamente similares en varias oirás características. Briggs (1974) dividió antinaturalmente la provincia zoogeográfica de las Indias Occidentales, pues la ictiofauna de Belice, Florida y las Bahamas es muy similar. Se proponen dos subprovincias, la Norte del Caribe-Antillas desde la Isla de San Andrés (I2.5°N) en el Caribe occidental hasta Cabo Catoche (21.5°N. México), sur de Florida, Bahamas, Bermudas y las Antillas; y la del Sur del Caribe que va desde Costa Rica hasta la isla de Trinidad. Ocho de las trece especies de chaenopsinos endémicos de la Subprovincia del Sur del Caribe pertenecen a géneros, subgéneros, o grupos de especies de Chaenopsinae que están más ampliamente distribuidos en el Pacifico oriental que en el Caribe, siendo por ende especies pacificófilas. Hay 23 especies de chaenopsinos en el Caribe sur, lo cual es 61% de ia fauna del grupo que existe en las Indias Occidentales, en tanto que en la Subprovincia Norte del Caribe -Antillas el número de especies conocidas es de 20.
