Hollardia

Hollardia is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Triacanthodidae, the spikefishes. These demersal fishes are found in the Western Atlantic Ocean, with one species being found in the Pacific Ocean.

==Taxonomy== Hollardia was first proposed as a monospecific genus in 1861 by the Cuban zoologist Felipe Poey when he described Hollardia hollardi as its only species, making that its type species by monotypy. H. hollardi was given a type locality of Havana. In 1968 the American ichthyologist James C. Tyler classified this genus, alongside Parahollardia, in a new subfamily of the family Triacanthodidae, the Hollardiinae. The 5th edition of Fishes of the World classifies the family Triacanthodidae in the suborder Triacanthoidei in the order Tetraodontiformes.
