The streaky clingfish (Lissonanchus lusheri) is a species of clingfish only known from one specimen collected off the coast of southern Mozambique. The length of the only known specimen was 2.1 centimetres (0.83 in) SL. This species is the only known member of its genus.[2] The single known specimen was collected at Ponte Zavora in southern Mozambique[3] by Mrs D.N. Lusher, who sent it to J.L.B. Smith. Smith described the species from this type and named it in honour of Mrs Lusher, so the spelling should be lusherae to reflect her gender.[4]
