Observación : Most Recent Published numbers: 14 genera, 50 species (Arnold & Pietsch, 2012: Ref. XXX), of which one genus and 4 species to be described.
Classification: 2 subfamilies Antennariinae (5 gen., 30 spp.); Histiophrynnae (9 gen., 20 spp.).
Size: To 33 cm SL in Antennarius avalonis.
Distribution: All tropical and subtropical seas (but not in the Mediterranean), and some extending to temperate waters. Antennariinae: worldwide; Histiophrynnae: Indo-Australian Archipelago.
Description: Body short, spherical, and laterally compressed with lateral eyes; mouth large with 2-4 more or less irregular rows of small, villiform teeth on upper and lower jaws; tube-like gill opening under pectoral base, used for jet-propelling. Three dorsal spines on head, the anteriormost (illicium) free and modified as a lure, usually with a distinct fleshy bait (esca). Cutaneous filaments or appendages nearly always present; color and color pattern highly variable from white, yellow, red to dark brown and black. Several species appear to mimic sponges or sea-urchins.
Ecology: Juveniles and adults benthic in 0-300 m, with the single exception of Histrio, which pelagic in floating sargassum weed. Voracious carnivores feeding on fishes or crustaceans attracted by wriggling the bait. May resort to cannibalism, even if the other is a potential mate.
Biology: Usually females lay thousands of eggs embedded in a large bouyant gelatinous mass; several species bear eggs attached to their body, whereas Histrio histrio produces a raft of eggs that floats at the surface among seaweed. Antennariinae: double scroll-shaped ovaries, broadcast spawners, going through a distinct larval stage; Histiophryninae: entirely different type of ovary, undergoing direct developmen twith various degrees of parental care.
Etimologia : Latin, antenna, antemna = sail yard; In Aristotle´s means "horns"; 1698 ( Ref. 45335).

Species/Synonymy list for the family Antennariidae as currently in FishBase

Important recommendation:

The list below must not be used as an authority reference synonymy list like those found in scientific published revisions, which must be the source to be used and cited eventually when they exist.

Rather, it reflects the current content of FishBase, and the progress with respect to synchronization with the Catalog of Fishes. However, we think it can be useful for users to assess the quality of information in FishBase, to start new work on the family, or to cross-check with other lists.

But we appreciate to be cited in publications when this list has been of any working value. In particular, for published scientific, we suggest then to cite it in the Material and Method section as a useful tool to conduct the research, but again, not as a taxonomic or nomenclatural authority reference.

Unless it is explicitly precised, the list is not complete, please search all original names published for the family in the Catalog of Fishes (genera, species), including those with uncertain or unknown status, that are not included in FishBase when they are not attached to a valid species.

This list uses some data from Catalog of Fishes (not shown but used to sort names).

The list ordered as follows:

Please send comments and corrections if you detect errors or missing names.
