Chonerhinos

Chonerhinos naritus, the bronze pufferfish or yellow pufferfish,[1] is a species of pufferfish native to Southeast Asia, where mainly found in estuarine and coastal habitats.[2][3] This species grows to a length of 28.5 centimetres (11.2 in) TL,[4] but otherwise it generally resembles the smaller and more strictly freshwater Auriglobus pufferfish.[3] This predatory species feeds on other fish, crustaceans (both crabs and shrimp) and snails.[2]

Taxonomy

Chonerhinos naritus is the only species in the genus Chonerhinos,[4] but the synonym Xenopterus was formerly used instead. At that point the genus name Chonerhinos was used for the species modestus and its relatives, but this was incorrect and they were moved to Auriglobus in 1999.[5]
