Proteracanthus is a monospecific genus of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Ephippidae , the spadefishes and batfishes. The only species in the genus is Proeracanthus sarissophorus which occurs in coral reefs around Malaysia , Borneo , and Sumatra .[1] This species is also known as the harpoon spadefish ,[2] or in Malaysia as drummer , knightfish , rudderfish or sea chub . This species grows to a length of 32.5 centimetres (12.8 in ) SL .[1]
Taxonomy [ edit ]
Proteracanthus was first proposed as a monospecific genus in 1859 by the German-born British herpetologist and ichthyologist Albert Günther . Its only species was Crenidens sassiphorus [3] which had been described in 1849 by the Danish zoologist Theodore Edward Cantor with its type locality given as the Sea of Penang in Malaya .[4] This taxon belongs to the family Ephippidae[4] in the order Moroniformes .[5]
Etymology [ edit ]
Proteracanthus is a combination of proteros , meaning “before” or “earlier”, with acanthus , a “spine” or “thorn”. This is a reference to the horizontal spine in front of the dorsal fin . The specific name combines sarissa , a “pike ”, with phorus , meaning “to bear”, an allusion to the elongated fourth spine of the dorsal fin.[6]
