Latridae
Latridae commonly called trumpeters, is a family of marine ray-finned fish. They are found in temperate seas in the Southern Hemisphere. The classification of the species within the Latridae and the related Cheilodactylidae is unclear.They are fished commercially and for sport. Taxonomy Latridae is classified within the superfamily Cirrhitoidea, under the suborder Percoidei of the large order Perciformes. Molecular studies have also placed the superfamily within the order Centrarchiformes, although the Cirrhitoidea is confirmed as a monophyletic clade. The 5th Edition of ''Fishes of the World'' does not recognise Centrarchiformes and retains the superfamily within the order Perciformes. The family has three genera according to the 5th Edition of ''Fishes of the World'', however the authors of that book admit that further studies need to be carried out to resolve the true relationships of all the taxa within the Cirrhitoidea. Latridae was first formally desecrribed as a famil ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Latris (fish)
''Latris'' is a genus of marine ray finned fish belonging to the family Latridae, the trumpeters. They are found in the southern oceans. Taxonomy ''Latris'' was first formally described in 1839 by the Scottish naval surgeon, naturalist and Arctic explorer Sir John Richardson with the type species being ''Latris hecateia'', this being the only species in the genus. Richardson’s name was later shown to be a synonym of Johann Reinhold Forster’s ''Cichla lineata''. The name of the genus, ''Latris'', means “slave” or “servant”, Richardson did not explain why he chose this name. Species There are currently two recognized species in this genus: * '' Latris lineata'' ( J. R. Forster, 1801) (Striped trumpeter) * '' Latris pacifica'' C. D. Roberts, 2003 (Silver trumpeter) Characteristics ''Latris'' has two species which, although molecular analyses suggest that they are sister species, share few obvious derived morphological characteristics which separate them from other ...

Goniistius
''Goniistius'' is a subgenus of marine ray-finned fishes, traditionally classified as being within the genus ''Cheilodactylus'' and belonging to the family Cheilodactylidae, known as morwongs, although this name is not unique to this family and the true taxonomic placement of this taxon requires clarification. They are found in the Pacific Ocean and southeastern Indian Ocean. Taxonomy ''Goniistius'' was created as a subgenus of ''Cheilodactylus'' in 1862 by the American ichthyologist Theodore Nicholas Gill with ''Cheilodactylus zonatus'' designated as its type species. The name of the subgenus is a compound of ''gonio'' meaning “angle” and ''istios'' which means “sail”, Gill did not explain what his name alluded to but he may have been referring to the deep incision between spiny and soft-rayed parts of the dorsal fin of the type species. Genetic and morphological analyses of the family Cheolodactylidae have found that the family as traditionally arranged is polyphylet ...

Cheilodactylus Fasciatus
The redfingers (''Cheilodactylus fasciatus'') is a species of marine ray-finned fish, belonging to the family Cheilodactylidae, commonly referred to as morwongs. It is found only off the coasts of Namibia and South Africa, in rock pools and from shallow depths to 120 m, on rocky reef areas. Its length is up to 30 cm. Taxonomy The redfingers was first formally described in 1803 by the French naturalist Bernard Germain de Lacépède with the type locality given as the Cape of Good Hope. When Lacépède wrote his description this was the only species in the genus ''Cheilodactylus'' and so is its type species and that of the family Cheilodactylidae. Phylogenetic analyses and genetic studies of the morwongs have not supported the traditional arrangement of the families Cheilodactylidae and Latridae. This has led to some authorities suggesting that the majority of species in Cheilodactylidae should be placed in Latridae. A result of this rearrangement is that the only species ...

Cheilodactylus
''Cheilodactylus'' is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes belonging to the family Cheilodactylidae, known as morwongs, although this name is not unique to this family. They are found in the temperate waters of the southern hemisphere and in the North Pacific Ocean. Taxonomy ''Cheilodactylus'' was first formally described in 1803 by the French naturalist Bernard Germain de Lacépède when he described ''Cheilodactylus fasciatus'' which was its type species by monotypy. The traditional delimitation of the families Cheilodactlidae and Latridae is based on morphological differences, but the reliability of these differences has been called into doubt, and a phylogenetic analyses and genetics have not supported this arrangement. This has led to some authorities suggesting that the majority of species in Cheilodactylidae should be placed in Latridae. A result of this rearrangement is that the only species which would remain in Cheilodactylidae are ''Cheilodactylus fasciatus'' and ' ...

Cheilodactylus Pixi
The barred fingerfin (''Cheilodactylus pixi'') is a species of marine ray-finned fish, belonging to the family Cheilodactylidae, commonly referred to as morwongs. It is found only in the southeastern Atlantic and southwestern Indian Oceans off the coasts of South Africa. Taxonomy The barred fingerfin was first formally described in 1980 by the South African ichthyologist Margaret Mary Smith with the type locality given as off the mouth of the Kowie River in the Eastern Cape in South Africa. Phylogenetic analyses and genetic studies of the morwongs have not supported the traditional arrangement of the families Cheilodactylidae and Latridae. This has led to some authorities suggesting that the majority of species in Cheilodactylidae should be placed in Latridae. A result of this rearrangement is that the only species which would remain in Cheilodactylidae are this species and '' C. fasciatus'', both from southern Africa. This is because these analyses resolved the genus ''Cheilod ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Dactylophora
The dusky morwong (''Dactylophora nigricans'') is a species of marine ray-finned fish, traditionally regarded as belonging to the family Cheilodactylidae, the members of which are commonly known as morwongs. It is native to the western and southern coastal reefs of Australia. This species is the only known member of its genus. Taxonomy The dusky morwong was first formally described in 1850 as ''Cheilodactylus nigricans'' by the Scottish naval surgeon, arctic explorer and naturalist Sir John Richardson with the type locality given as King George Sound in Western Australia. In 1883 the English zoologist Charles De Vis created the genus ''Dactylophora'' with this species the type species by monotypy, it is still the only species in the genus. The genus name is a compound of ''dactylus'' meaning "finger" and ''phora'' which means "to bear" or "carry", a reference to the single elongated, unbranched pectoral fin ray. The specific name''nigricans'' means "blackish", as the specie ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Chirodactylus
''Chirodactylus'' is a genus of marine ray-finned fish, traditionally regarded as belonging to the family Cheilodactylidae, the members of which are commonly known as morwongs. They are native to the Atlantic, Indian and eastern Pacific oceans off southern Africa and South America. Taxonomy ''Chirodactylus'' was described as a genus in 1862 by the American ichthyologist Theodore Nicholas Gill with the South American ''Cheilodactylus antonii'', which had been described by Achille Valenciennes in 1833, as the type species by monotypy. Gill subsequently included two other species in ''Chirodactylus'', ''C. grandis'' and ''C, variegatus''. C. antonii was later shown to be a synonym of ''Cheilodactylus variegatus''. Chirodactylus was largely regarded as a synonym of Cheilodactylus until 1980 when the South African ichthyologist Margaret M. Smith resurrected it to include the three southern African species ''C. brachydactylus'', ''C. grandis'' and ''C. jessicalenorum'', as well as ''C ...

Latridopsis
''Latridopsis'' is a genus of marine ray finned fish belonging to the family Latridae, the trumpeters. They are found in the southwestern Pacific Ocean and the southeastern Indian Ocean. Taxonomy ''Latridopsis'' was described in 1862 by the American ichthyologist Theodore Nicholas Gill who designated J.R. Forster's '' Anthias ciliaris'' as its type species, the genus was also monotypic when Gill described it. The name of the genus ''Latridopsis'' means "resembling '' Latris''. Species There are currently two recognized species in this genus: * '' Latridopsis ciliaris'' ( J. R. Forster, 1801) (Blue moki) * '' Latridopsis forsteri'' ( Castelnau, 1872) (Bastard trumpeter) Characteristics ''Latridopsi''s is distinguished from ''Latris'' and '' Mendosoma'' using the following combined characters. They have a somewhat oval and compressed body with a pointed snout and a terminal mouth, which does not have thick, fleshy lips with a slim caudal peduncle. The dorsal fin contains 16-18 rel ...

Latris Lineata
''Latris lineata'', the striped trumpeter, common trumpeter, copper moki, Hobart-town trumpeter, kokikohi, real trumpeter, Tasmanian striped trumpeter or Tasmanian trumpeter, is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Latridae, the trumpeters. It is native to rocky reefs in the temperate oceans of the southern hemisphere. Taxonomy ''Latris lineata'' was first formally described in 1801 as ''Cichla lineata'' by the German naturalist Johann Reinhold Forster with the type locality given as New Zealand. Sir John Richardson described the genus '' Latris'' in his description of ''Latris hecateia'', its only species, and this species was later found to be synonymous with Forster's ''Cichla lineata''. The specific name ''lineata'' means "lined", a reference to the dark horizontal lines in the body. Description ''Latris lineata'' has an elongate, compressed body, with a standard length which is around 3 times its depth, with a relatively long snout and a convex spa ...

Mendosoma
''Mendosoma'' is a genus of marine ray finned fish belonging to the family Latridae, the trumpeters. Taxonomy ''Mendosoma'' was first formally described in 1848 by the French zoologist Alphonse Guichenot. Some authorities consider the genus ''Mendosoma'' to be monotypic, but others recognise three species within the genus: * '' Mendosoma caerulescens'' Guichenot, 1848 * '' Mendosoma fernandezianum'' Guichenot 1848 * '' Mendosoma lineatum'' Guichenot, 1848 Both ''M. caerulescens'' and ''M. fernandezianum'' have been considered ''nomina dubia'' in the past. The generic name, ''Mendosoma'', was created by combining the word ''méndola'', a Spanish name for the blotched picarel (''Spicara maena ''Spicara maena'', the blotched picarel, is a species of ray-finned fish native to the eastern Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea.

Cheilodactylidae
Cheilodactylidae , commonly called morwongs but also known as butterfish, fingerfins, jackassfish, sea carp, snappers, and moki, is a family of marine ray-finned fish. They are found in subtropical oceans in the Southern Hemisphere. The common name "morwong" is also used as a name for several unrelated fish found in Australian waters, such as the painted sweetlips (''Diagramma pictum''). The classification of the species within the Cheilodactylidae and the related Latridae is unclear. Taxonomy Cheilodactylidae is classified within the superfamily Cirrhitoidea, under the suborder Percoidei of the large order Perciformes. Molecular studies have also placed the superfamily within the order Centrarchiformes, although the Cirrhitoidea is confirmed as a monophyletic clade. The 5th Edition of ''Fishes of the World'' does not recognise Centrarchiformes and retains the superfamily within the order Perciformes.
