Cercamia is a genus of fishes in the family Apogonidae, the cardinalfishes. They are native to the Pacific and Indian Oceans.
Species
The recognized species in this genus are:[2][3]
- Cercamia cladara J. E. Randall & C. L. Smith, 1988
- Cercamia eremia (G. R. Allen, 1987) (glassy cardinalfish)
- Cercamia laamu Fraser, Bogorodsky, Mal & Alpermann, 2021
- Cercamia mascarene Fraser, Bogorodsky, Mal & Alpermann, 2021
- Cercamia melanogaster G. R. Allen, Erdmann & Mahardini, 2015 (blackbelly cardinalfish) [4]
- Cercamia spio Fraser, Bogorodsky, Mal & Alpermann, 2021
The former genus Apogonoides is now thought to be synonymous with Cercamia.[5] The extinct species †Cercamia cottreaui Arambourg, 1928 (described as Apogonoides cottreaui) is known from the Late Miocene of Algeria.[6][7][8]
