Bodianus is a genus of fish in the family of wrasses, the Labridae, which are commonly known as hogfishes. They are found in the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Ocean. These species have many parasites.[4][not in body]

Taxonomy

[edit | edit source]

Bodianus belongs to the wrasse tribe Hypsigenyini. Gomon (2006) split up the species in Bodianus amongst 10 subgenera. However, these sub-classifications of Bodianus only roughly line up with findings of more recent phylogenetic analyses.[5]

The three species B. darwini, B. pulcher, and B. reticulatus, commonly called the sheephead wrasses, have traditionally formed their own genus Semicossyphus. Although at least the latter two species form a monophyletic lineage with each other,[5] Semicossyphus has subsequently been synonymized with Bodianus, as molecular phylogenetics found that Semicossyphus is nested deep within Bodianus.[5][6][7]

Similarly, Clepticus parrae and likely all Clepticus species also nest within Bodianus.[5]
