Neoclinus stephensae, the Yellowfin fringehead, is a species of chaenopsid blenny found in the eastern Pacific ocean. It can reach a maximum length of 10 centimetres (3.9 in) TL.[2] The specific name honours the collector of the type, the British-American conchologist Kate Stephens (ca. 1853-1954) who was Curator of Mollusks and Marine Invertebrates at San Diego Natural History Museum and who was over 100 years old at the time the species was described.[3]
