Biology:Leptagonus

From HandWiki

Leptagonus is a genus of poachers native to the northern Pacific Ocean.

Species

There are currently four recognized species in this genus:[1]

  • Leptagonus decagonus (Bloch & J. G. Schneider, 1801) (Atlantic poacher)
  • Leptagonus frenatus (C. H. Gilbert, 1896) (Sawback poacher)
  • Leptagonus knipowitschi (Lindberg & Andriashev, 1937)
  • Leptagonus leptorhynchus (C. H. Gilbert, 1896) (Longnose poacher)

Some authorities accept Leptagonus as a monospecific genus, featuring only L. decagonus,[2] with the other three in Sarritor.[3]
