Graveldiver
The graveldivers (''Scytalina cerdale'') are perciform fish in the genus ''Scytalina'', and the only species in the family Scytalinidae. Graveldivers are small, with snake-like heads (hence the generic name). Their bodies are compact, and lack pelvic fins, with very small pectoral fins. Their range encompasses the coastal area from the Bering Sea to central California. ==Taxonomy and naming== The generic name ''Scytalina'' is of a Greek origin, from the diminutive of ''skytale'', meaning "viper".〔 This refers to the snake-like head. The specific name ''cerdale'' means "wary one" or "the fox", in allusion to its agility and quick movement when disturbed.〔 Jordan and Gilbert suggested an alternative generic name ''Scytaliscus'' due to the similarity between ''Scytalina'' and the unrelated genus ''Scytalinus''. This name is unnecessary and is not in wide use.〔
