Resumen
SANCHEZ-JIMENEZ, Juan Antonio et al. New record of Hypsoblennius exstochilus (Actinopterygii: Blenniidae) in the Mexican Caribbean. Rev. Mex. Biodiv. [online]. 2017, vol.88, n.1, pp.265-267. ISSN 2007-8706. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rmb.2017.01.012.
The longhorn blenny (Hypsoblennius exstochilus) belongs to the family Bleniidae. It is easy to identify by the size and form of the ocular cirri, the color pattern of the head and the fleshy flap that extends from the corner of the mouth. It was originally described in the Bahamas, and later it was recorded in Cuba, Virgin Islands, Jamaica, and Puerto Rico. No previous records from the continental Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico exist. By photographic record of 1 specimen, we provide the first report of Hypsoblennius exstochilus in the Continental Caribbean (Mexico).
