Stemonosudis bullisi is a species of barracudina found in the western-central Atlantic Ocean and the north-eastern Gulf of Mexico.[2]

Description

This species reaches a length of 6.2 cm (2.4 in).[3]

Etymology

The fish is named in honor of marine biologist Harvey R. Bullis, Jr. (1924-1992), to whom many American ichthyologists, the author included, are indebted for supplying valuable marine collections from the cruises of the Oregon and other vessels of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, including the type specimen of this species.[4]
