Biology:Cercamia

From HandWiki

Cercamia is a genus of fishes in the family Apogonidae, the cardinalfishes. They are native to the Pacific and Indian Oceans.

Species

The recognized species in this genus are:[1]

  • Cercamia cladara J. E. Randall & C. L. Smith, 1988
  • Cercamia eremia (G. R. Allen, 1987) (glassy cardinalfish)
  • Cercamia melanogaster G. R. Allen, Erdmann & Mahardini, 2015 (blackbelly cardinalfish) [2]

The former genus Apogonoides is now thought to be synonymous with Cercamia.[3] The extinct species †Cercamia cottreaui Arambourg, 1928 (described as Apogonoides cottreaui) is known from the Late Miocene of Algeria.[4][5][6]
