Labrisomus xanti, the Largemouth blenny, is a species of labrisomid blenny native to the Pacific coast of Mexico from Baja California to Jalisco. It inhabits shallow waters. This species can reach a length of 17.8 centimetres (7.0 in) TL.[2] The specific name honours the collector of the type, the Hungarian zoologist John Xantus (1825-1894).[3]
