Etymology
editIt is named in honor of ichthyologist James C. Tyler (b. 1935), for his help and advice to the authors, also for his numerous contributions to the study of the systematics of the plectognath fishes.[3]
Description
editC. jamestyleri can measure up to 8.5 centimetres (3.3 in), counting with 9 soft rays and anal soft rays. It shows no dark dorsal and ventral margins on its caudal fin but does show a small dark spot on the base of its dorsal fin. It also counts with bars on the caudal fin, as well as diagonal lines on the snout, and two dark stripes on the sides of its body.[2]
Distribution
editThe species is deep reef-associated, with a depth range between 90 and 100 metres (300 and 330 ft). It is found in the Western Atlantic, particularly on the southeast coast of the US and the Gulf of Mexico.[2]
