Clinidae (Clinids)
Etymology: Xenopoclinus: Greek, xenos = strange + Greek, pous = feet + Greek, klinein, kline = sloping and bed, due to the four apophyses of sphenoid bone (Ref. 45335).
Eponymy: H J Koch from Somerset West, South Africa, was a malacologist who collected the holotype with his wife Anne during their field work in conchology. (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Descrição breve
Chaves de identificação | Morfologia | Morfometria
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 33 - 37; Raios dorsais moles (total) : 7 - 11; Espinhos anais: 2; Raios anais moles: 29 - 31.
Body shape (shape guide): elongated.
Inhabits intertidal sandy areas near kelp beds. Buries itself in the substrate by diving head first into the sediment and emerging slightly so that the top of the head and the dorsally-situated eyes protrude from the sediment surface. Alternatively, it may lie on the surface of the sediment and use the pectoral, pelvic and anal fins, together with undulatory movements of the body, to insinuate itself into the sediment in a fashion to that of Trachinus vipera. Again, only the top of the head and the eyes are left exposed. Once buried in the sediment, the fish remains there and is able to 'swim' through the sediment for short distances without re-emerging, although it occasionally emerges to undertake short forays (Ref. 28111)
