About Cubbyu
See: Drums Pareques acuminatus, commonly known as the high-hat, donkeyfish, cubbyu, Steindachner's ribbonfish, streaked ribbonfish, striped ribbonfish or striped drum, is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the genus Pareques in the family Sciaenidae, the drums and croakers. This species is found in the western Atlantic Ocean. Pareques acuminatus, commonly known as the high-hat, donkeyfish, cubbyu, Steindachner's ribbonfish, streaked ribbonfish, striped ribbonfish or striped drum, is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the genus Pareques in the family Sciaenidae, the drums and croakers. This species is found in the western Atlantic Ocean. Taxonomy Pareques acuminatus was first formally described in 1801, based on Albertus Seba's 1759 Chaetodon, lineis fuscis, longitudinalibus, varius, by the German naturalists Marcus Elieser Bloch and Johann Gottlob Theaenus Schneider without a type locality being given. In 1876, Theodore Gill classified Grammistes acuminatus in the new monospecific genus Pareques; therefore, P. acuminatus is the type species of the genus. This species is a member of a species complex and was recognised as a separate species from the southern high-hat (Pareques lineatus). The genus Pareques is included in the subfamily Sciaeninae by some authors, but the 5th edition of Fishes of the World does not recognise subfamilies within Sciaenidae, which it places in the order Acanthuriformes.
