Lepadogaster candolii
Risso, 1810
– Connemarra clingfish;
①③
Almada
et al.
(2008)
indicated the need to remove the species
L. candollei
from the genus
Lepadogaster
.
Canestrini (1864)
had previously suggested placing
L. candollei
in a different genus (
Mirbelia
), distinct from
Lepadogaster
. In turn
Briggs (1955)
, in his detailed revision, although placing
L. candollei
in
Lepadogaster
noted that: ‘‘
L. candollei
is well separated from the other three forms [of
Lepadogaster
] which are very closely related to each other”.
