Nemadactylus is a genus of morwongs.
Systematics
The genus was traditionally assigned to Cheilodactylidae, but a number of papers published in the late 1990s and early 2000s placed Nemadactylus as sister to Latris, prompting its re-assignment to Latridae.[1][2][3]
Species
There are currently seven recognized species in this genus:[4]
- Nemadactylus bergi (Norman, 1937) (Castaneta)
- Nemadactylus douglasii (Hector, 1875) (Porae)
- Nemadactylus gayi (Kner, 1865)
- Nemadactylus macropterus (J. R. Forster, 1801) (Tarakihi)
- Nemadactylus monodactylus (Carmichael, 1819) (St. Paul's fingerfin)
- Nemadactylus valenciennesi (Whitley, 1937) (Sea carp)
- Nemadactylus vemae (M. J. Penrith, 1967)
