Tribe Archamiini new name Fraser & Mabuchi

Type genus Archamia Gill 1863 View in CoL

Diagnosis. Members of the Apogoninae : VI+I,9 or VII+I,9; anal fin II,12–19; head and body with ctenoid scales; pored lateral-line scales 24–25; preopercle ridge smooth, edges serrate; three supraneurals; supramaxilla absent; basisphenoid present; one pair of uroneurals present or absent; three epurals; five free hypurals, 1–2 fused and 3–4 fused to terminal centrum; free parhypural; caudal fin forked; body translucent without bars and head tinged greenish yellow and small dark basicaudal spot or with dark or yellowish to reddish bars on body, dark basicaudal spot, small or large, compact or diffuse or head and body with one or two narrow yellowish to dark stripes.

Other characteristics. one or two supernumerary dorsal spines; branched first segmented dorsal and anal ray; ctenoid scales on predorsal, cheek, breast, two pelvic scales, and body; ctenoid scale on opercle and onto base of caudal fin; pored lateral-line scales with multiple pores; pectoral fin-rays 11–16; three supraneurals; 9+8 segmented principal caudal rays, 15 branched, upper and lower unbranched; unbranched procurrent rays, longest segmented; teeth on premaxilla, dentary, vomer, palatine, all villiform (one species present on ectopterygoid) or absent on palatine; six infraorbitals, bony shelf on third infraorbital; anterior ceratohyal smooth or notched; developed gill rakers 15–23; 10+14 vertebrae; 8 ribs; 8 epineurals; stomach and intestine blackish, peritoneum silvery with melanophores; low crest on PU2.

Distribution. Archamia and Taeniamia are widespread throughout the Indo-Pacific from the Red Sea, East Africa to Japan and Samoa.

Remarks. This tribe contains two genera, Archamia and Taeniamia , corresponding to the clade XI in the molecular trees ( Figs. 2–6 View FIGURE 2 View FIGURE 3 View FIGURE 4 View FIGURE 5 View FIGURE 6 , Table 4 View TABLE 4 ). All the members of the clade were formerly classified under Archamia , but Fraser (2013b) redescribed Archamia as monotypic and recognized a new genus, Taeniamia for the remaining species. The history of this species is given by Gon & Randall (2003). Our molecular results did not disagree with the idea of recognizing two species ( Taeniamia kagoshimanus Döderlein in Steindachner & Döderlein 1883 and T. sansibaricus Pfeffer 1893 ) that has been long confused with Taeniamia fucata ( Cantor 1849) ( Fraser 2013b) . This idea is supported also by the geographic variation in gill raker counts reported by Gon & Randall (2003). Prokofiev (2006) indicated a possible close relationship between the species of " Archamia " ( Archamia + Taeniamia ) and Kurtus gulliveri based on morphological characters. But their monophyly was significantly rejected by the AU test based on the present molecular data (H09; Table 6 View TABLE 6 ).

Archami- is the stem for this new tribe.
