Chelonodon is a genus of pufferfishes native to the Indo-Pacific. They are mainly found in coastal regions and estuaries, but sometimes in rivers.
Species and taxonomy
There are five recognized species in this genus:
Chelonodon bengalensis (Habib et al., 2018) (Bengal reticulated puffer)
Chelonodon dapsilis (Whitley, 1943) (Plentiful toby)
Chelonodon laticeps (J. L. B. Smith, 1948) (Blue-spotted blaasop)
Chelonodon patoca (F. Hamilton, 1822) (Milk-spotted puffer)
Chelonodon pleurospilus (Regan, 1919) (Blaasop beauty)
The type species of Chelonodon is Leiodon cutcutia, making the genus name a synonym. As a consequence, Catalog of Fishes and other authorities instead place the above five species in Chelonodontops. FishBase, however, still uses Chelonodon.
