Rusichthys is a genus of ray-finned fishes, classified under the subfamily Congrogadinae, the eel blennies, part of the dottyback family, Pseudochromidae, from the western Indian Ocean. The generic name is a compound of the acronym RUSI which stands for Rhodes University Smith Institute and thus honours the South African ichthyologist James Leonard Brierley Smith[3]
