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 reassignment to Latridae.

Species

There are currently seven recognized species in this genus:

  • 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)
