Lindbergichthys

Lindbergia Balushkin, 1976 Lindbergichthys is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Nototheniidae, the notothens or cod icefishes.

Lindbergichthys was first formally described in 1976 as Lindbergia, a subgenus of Lepidonotothen, by the Soviet ichthyologist Arkady Vladimirovich Balushkin with Notothenia mizops as the type species.

[1] However, Lindbergia was preoccupied by a Gastropod genus described by Riedel in 1959 and in 1979 Balushkin replaced the name with Lindbergichthys.

The name of honours the Soviet ichthyologist Georgiĭ Ustinovich Lindberg who died in 1976.

[6] Two recognized species are in this genus:[4] Lindbergichthys notothens have a variable amount of scales on the head but the snout.
