Remark |
: |
Description: species in this family can be distinguished from the species in Haemulidae by the having 10
pores on and behind the chin; with a cluster of barbels
of variable size and fur-like papillae on lower jaw
and chin, may or may not partially hidden
the pores; teeth are uniformly small, in bands on jaws,
vomer and palatines; pored lateral line scales 41-48; vertebrae 10 + 14 or 24 total vertebrae; predorsal formula 0/0+0/2/1+1/; dorsal fin spines 11 with an antrorse spine anteriorly corresponding at the projection of the first pterygiophore not to a true spine; procurrent caudal rays 6 + 5-6; and a rounded caudal fin (Ref. 121743). Family not recognized but only mentioned under Haemulidae in Ref. 58010, p.369, and recognized in Ref. 108912, p.457. Genus Hapalogenys was formerly in Haemulidae. Hapalogenidae by Springer & Raash (1995); not available in accordance with Article 13.1.1 of ICZN, 1999; Hapalogeniidae by Iwatsuki & Russell (2003) and Nelson et al, 2016, but correct stem must be Haplogeny- (Van Der Laan et al. 2014), So Hapalogenyidae was beeing used by several authors and was adopted by CofF (Fricke et al. 2019) but still as a nomen nudum for it does not satisfy Article 13.1 of the ICZN for the name published after 1930. Thus, Hapalogenyidae was redescribed in Ref. 121743. Suggested new common name for this family in a coming ref. following Ref. 58418. |

Etymology |
: |
Name from Greek 'hapalos' meaning soft to the touch and 'genys' for cheek; as explained by Richardson (1844:464), the name was chosen 'to express the velvety softness of the chin and lower lip, which is made more conspicuous by contrast with the rigidly rough scales that cover the rest of the head' (Ref. 121743). |

Important recommendation:
The list below must not be used as an authority reference synonymy list like those found in scientific published revisions, which must be the source to be used and cited eventually when they exist.
Rather, it reflects the current content of FishBase, and the progress with respect to synchronization with the Catalog of Fishes. However, we think it can be useful for users to assess the quality of information in FishBase, to start new work on the family, or to cross-check with other lists.
But we appreciate to be cited in publications when this list has been of any working value. In particular, for published scientific, we suggest then to cite it in the Material and Method section as a useful tool to conduct the research, but again, not as a taxonomic or nomenclatural authority reference.
Unless it is explicitly precised, the list is not complete, please search all original names published for the family in the Catalog of Fishes (genera, species), including those with uncertain or unknown status, that are not included in FishBase when they are not attached to a valid species.
This list uses some data from Catalog of Fishes (not shown but used to sort names).
The list ordered as follows:
- When subfamilies are recognized, nominotypical subfamily first then other subfamilies by alphabetical order.
- Type genus of the family first (or of subfamily when subfamilies are recognized) then other genera by chronological order of description (and alphabetical order).
- Type species of the genus first by chronological order (and alphabetical order), with last listed misapplied names in a light gray font.
- ! Marks misspellings of the species names that must not be used.
Please send comments and corrections if you detect errors or missing names.
