Pterocaesio Tessellata
''Pterocaesio'' is a genus of marine ray-finned fish, fuiliers belonging to the family Caesionidae. They are native to the Indian Ocean and the western Pacific Ocean. Taxonomy ''Pterocaesio'' was described as a genus in 1876 by the Dutch ichthyologist Pieter Bleeker with Franz Steindachner's ''Caesio multiradiatus'' as the type species. This taxon was subsequently shown to be a synonym of ''Caesio tile'' which had been described by Georges Cuvier in 1830. The generic name is a compound of ''ptero'' meaning "fin" and the genus name ''Caesio''. Bleeker did not give an explanation of his name but it may be because the type species ''P. tile'' has a higher number of rays in the dorsal fin. 21, compared to 13-18 in ''Caesio''. Three subgenera have been proposed for ''Pteroceasio''. Species Currently, 12 species in this genus are recognized, and have been divided into subgenera by some authorities as follows: * Subgenus ''Pterocaesio'' ** ''Pterocaesio tile'' (Cuvier, 1830) (dark-ban ...

Caesio
''Caesio'' is a genus of marine ray-finned fish, fusiliers belonging to the family Caesionidae. They are native to the Indian Ocean and the western Pacific Ocean, although one species has invaded the eastern Mediterranean Sea through the Suez Canal by Lessepsian migration.

Species Currently, 9 species in this genus are recognized, organised into three subgenera according to some authorities: * Subgenus ''Caesio'' ** '' Caesio caerulaurea'' Lacépède, 1801 – blue and gold fusilier ** ''Caesio striata'' Rüppell, 1830 – striated fusilier ** '' Caesio varilineata'' K.

Pterocaesio Marri
''Pterocaesio marri'', Marr's fusilier, bigtail fusilier, blacktip fusilier, bananafish or twinstripe fusilier is a species of marine ray-finned fish, a fusilier belonging to the family Caesionidae.

Marr of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, who had oversight of the commercial fisheries at Bikini Atoll. Description ''Pterocaesio marri'' has a fusiform and elongated body which is moderately laterally compressed. There are small conical teeth in the jaws but none on the vomer and palatines.
