Opistognathidae (Jawfishes)
Etymology: Opistognathus: Greek, opisthe = behind + Greek, gnathos = jaw (Ref. 45335); to the very elongate upper jaw of the type species of the genus, Opistognathus nigromarginatus (Ref. 128653); ctenion: Name 'ctenion' from the Greek diminutive meaning 'small comb', in reference to the low gill raker numbers in the new species, one of the lowest recorded for Indo-Pacific species of
Opistognathus.
