Labrisomus socorroensis, the Misspelled blenny, is a species of labrisomid blenny endemic to the Revillagigedo Islands where they inhabit rocky areas at depths of from extremely shallow waters to 10 metres (33 ft).[1][2]
Etymology
The common name of this species - "Misspelled blenny" - derives from the fact that when Clark Hubbs initially published the description of this species he named it "L. soccorroensis" after the location from which the type specimen was collected - Socorro Island. However, a species named after Socorro Island should be named "socorroensis" and thus the blenny was "misspelled".[3]
