Cunningham's triplefin (Helcogrammoides cunninghami) is a species of triplefin blenny in the genus Helcogrammoides.[2] It was described by Frederik Adam Smitt in 1898,[3] who named it in honour the Scottish naturalist Robert Oliver Cunningham (1841-1918), who had collected specimens of this fish from Puerto Madryn in 1868 but was unable to identify them.[4] This species has been found in Peru, near Lima,[5] Chile, Puerto Madryn in Argentina and the Falkland Islands.[1]
