Opistognathidae (Jawfishes)
Etymology: Opistognathus: Greek, opisthe = behind + Greek, gnathos = jaw (Ref. 45335); to the very elongate upper jaw of the type species of the genus, Opistognathus nigromarginatus (Ref. 128653); microspilus: Name 'microspilus' from the Greek words 'mikros' and 'spilos', meaning 'small' and 'spot, blemish', in reference to the small black dorsal-fin spot of the new species.
