Habitat and distribution: Freshwater, brackish, and marine waters, North America, Central America and northern South America ( Fig. 16 View Figure 16 ).

Remarks

The total-evidence analysis corroborates the monophyly of Ariopsis and the relationships established by molecular data (Betancur-R. et al. 2007, Betancur-R. 2009), with the same species composition as in the recent revision of the genus ( Marceniuk et al. 2017b). The overall morphological similarity of Sciades and Ariopsis is expressed by the synonymy of the genera in previous morphological analyses ( Marceniuk and Menezes 2007, Marceniuk et al. 2012).
