Salarinae is one of two subfamilies in the combtooth blenny family Blenniidae, it is the largest of the two subfamilies in the Blennidae with 43 genera. The species in this subfamily are mainly marine, with a few species which are found in freshwater or brackish water, and a few species are known to spend much time out of the water.

Classification

The Salarinae was formerly divided into at least two tribes, the Parablenniini and the Salariini, largely based on their dentition. However, the differences between these two tribes were not consistent and that many taxa showed intermediate characteristics and that the subfamily should not be divided into tribes, subject to further study, and that Parablenniini and Salarinae were synonyms.[1]

The following genera are classifies as belonging to the Salarinae:[2]

gollark: Irrelevant. Haskell is lazy.
gollark: You mean JavaScript?
gollark: C as C preprocessor when?! I mean, this would be terrible as C makes string ops apioforms and would make ASTs bad but still.
gollark: Learning them would take time and the benefit isn't substantial.
gollark: I never learned any precedence rules so all is bracketed.
