Stathmonotus hemphillii, the blackbelly blenny, is a species of chaenopsid blenny found in coral reefs in the western central Atlantic ocean. It can reach a maximum length of 5 centimetres (2.0 in) TL. This species can also be found in the aquarium trade.[2] The specific name honours the malacologist Henry Hemphill (1830-1914) who collected the type.[3]
