Hyporthodus is a genus of marine, ray-finned fish, groupers of the family Epinephelidae.[3]
Taxonomy
[edit]In 2007, genetic analyses showed that the genus Epinephelus was paraphyletic. As such, the genus Hyporthodus was resurrected, under which many species of Epinephelus were subsequently reclassified.[4]
Genetic analysis shows that the monospecific genus Triso is nested within Hyporthodus and should be reclassified under the latter,[5] however, reclassification has not yet been accepted by authorities such as Eschmeyer's Catalog of Fishes.[6]
Description
[edit]Compared to groupers of the related genus Epinephelus, Hyporthodus species are characterized by having a deeper body, and are drab brown or olive in coloration. The one exception to this H. drummondhayi.[5]
Species
[edit]It contains the following species, most of which were previously placed in Epinephelus:[7][8]
- Hyporthodus acanthistius (Gilbert, 1892)
- Hyporthodus chabaudi (Castelnau 1861)
- Hyporthodus cifuentesi (Lavenberg & Grove, 1993)
- Hyporthodus darwinensis (J. E. Randall & Heemstra, 1991) (Darwin grouper)
- Hyporthodus drummondhayi (Goode & Bean, 1878)
- Hyporthodus ergastularius (Whitley, 1930)
- Hyporthodus exsul (Fowler, 1944)
- Hyporthodus flavolimbatus (Poey, 1865)
- Hyporthodus griseofasciatus Moore, Wakefield, DiBattista & Newman, 2022[9]
- Hyporthodus haifensis (Ben-Tuvia, 1953)
- Hyporthodus mystacinus (Poey, 1852)
- Hyporthodus nigritus (Holbrook, 1855)
- Hyporthodus niphobles (Gilbert & Starks, 1897)
- Hyporthodus niveatus (Valenciennes, 1828)
- Hyporthodus octofasciatus (Griffin, 1926)
- Hyporthodus perplexus (Randall, Hoese & Last, 1991)
- Hyporthodus quernus (Seale, 1901)
- Hyporthodus septemfasciatus (Thunberg, 1793)
A molecular analysis has shown that most species of Hyporthodus can be identified on the basis of COI barcoding sequences.[10]
