Gobiesocidae are a moderate-sized family (currently 182 species, 51 genera) of predominantly coastal marine fishes, commonly referred to as clingfishes. Depending on the classification adopted, the species and genera of clingfishes are organized either across ten subfamilies, based on a classification scheme introduced in the 1950s (“traditional” classification, comprising Aspasminae, Cheilobranchinae, Chorisochisminae, Diademichthyinae, Diplocrepinae, Gobiesocinae, Haplocylicinae…

A New Genus and Species of Clingfish (Family Gobiesocidae) from the Bahama Islands
- Biology
- 1969
Threespecies of clingfish, recently taken from relatively deep water in the southern Bahamas, pose an interesting evolutionary problem and represent a new genus and, at first glance, the genus seemed to be referable to the subfamily Diademichthyinae, considered to be the most advanced of the eight recognized within the family Gobiesocidae.

Synonymy of the fish families Cheilobranchidae (=Alabetidae) and Gobiesocidae, with descriptions of two new species of Alabes
- Biology
- 1976
The genus Alabes, monotypic representative of the Cheilobranchidae, shares a large number of specializations with the members of the Gobiesocidae, including one not known to occur in any other fishes: the supracleithrum bears a shallow, concave process at its distal end that articulates with a convex condyle on the anterior surface of the cleithrum.
