Origin: A borrowing from Latin, combined with an English element; modelled on a Latin lexical item. Etymons: Latin Uranoscopus , -id suffix³.

Etymology: < scientific Latin Uranoscopus, genus name (see uranoscopus n.) + -id suffix³, after scientific Latin Uranoscopidae, family name (J. Richardson 1846, in Rep. Brit. Assoc. Advancem. Sci. 1845 15 211).

Zoology.

A. n.

Any of numerous perciform fishes of the genus Uranoscopus or (more widely) the family Uranoscopidae, whose eyes are positioned on the top of their heads and which are found in shallow seas worldwide. Cf. stargazer n. 2a.

ΚΠ

1884 Proc. U.S. National Mus. 1884 7 357 In many fishes, such as the Coryphænids, Uranoscopids, Batrachids..&c., the body regularly increases in height or vertical extension towards the head.

1933 Trans. Amer. Philos. Soc. 23 371 It is at present doubtful whether the skull characters which Trichodon shares with the uranoscopids are enough to indicate a real relationship.

2006 M. J. Allen in L. G. A. Allen et al. Ecol. Marine Fishes 186/1 Some benthic roundfishes, such as uranoscopids and batrachoidids are dorsally depressed.

B. adj.

Designating fishes of the family Uranoscopidae; of or relating to such fishes.

ΚΠ

1909 Cent. Dict. Suppl. Kathetostomatinæ, a sub-family of uranoscopid fishes.

1967 Jrnl. Parasitol. 53 857/1 The cyclopoid genus Telson so far contains only two species, both of which occur exclusively on uranoscopid fishes of the genus Astroscopus.

1997 G. S. Helfman et al. Diversity of Fishes xv. 261/2 The uranoscopid stargazers are another venomous family, with two grooved spines and an accompanying gland.
