Cheilodactylus


Cheilodactylus is a genus of morwongs from the oceans off southern Africa.

Species

The genus only includes two species:
The genus used to also contain species currently assigned to Chirodactylus, Goniistius, Morwong and Pseudogoniistius, but DNA and morphologic analyses found those species to be nested within Latridae and more derived than the kelpfish and marblefish and the Cheilodactylus type species.
