Etymology: greenfieldi: Named for David W. Greenfield, in recognition of his work on blennioid fishes, particularly his work on the Starksia ocellata complex.
Eponymy: Edwin Chapin Starks (1867–1932) was an American ichthyologist who was an authority on the osteology of fish. [...] Dr David Wayne Greenfield (d: 1940) is an ichthyologist, marine biologist, zoogeographer and ecologist who is now a Research Associate at the California Academy of Sciences.

Short description Chiavi di identificazione | Morfologia | Morfometria

Spine dorsali (totale) : 18 - 20; Raggi dorsali molli (totale) : 7 - 9; Spine anali: 2; Raggi anali molli: 15 - 16; Vertebre: 32. This species of Starksia is distinguished by the following set of characters: orbital cirrus present; two to three rows of dark blotches on side of body, blotches in middle row (or ventral row if only two rows) mostly circular, never vertically elongate or oval; white (or pale), mostly round spots (absence of melanophores against a darker background) on at least portions of cheek, opercle, and gular region, this spotting pattern more prominent in males; males with dark blotch of pigment on anterior portion of spinous dorsal fin; first anal-fin spine one-half to three-quarters length of male genital papilla; belly naked (Ref. 86414).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00537 (0.00222 - 0.01301), b=3.08 (2.87 - 3.29), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trophic level (Ref. 69278): 3.1 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low vulnerability (10 of 100).
