Tribe Pristiapogonini new name Fraser & Mabuchi

Type genus Pristiapogon Klunzinger 1870 View in CoL

Diagnosis. Members of the Apogoninae : dorsal fin VI+I,9 or VII+I,9; anal fin II,8; head and body with ctenoid scales; pored lateral-line scales 23–25; preopercle ridge serrate, edges serrate; infraorbitals serrate; three supraneurals; supramaxilla absent; basisphenoid present; one pair of uroneurals or absent; three epurals; five free hypurals; parhypural separate; one or two supernumerary dorsal spines; caudal fin forked.

Other characteristics. first segmented fin-ray in second dorsal-fin branched, first anal-fin ray branched and segmented; ctenoid scales on predorsal, cheek, breast, two pelvic scales, and body; ctenoid scales on opercle and onto base of caudal fin; pored lateral-line scales with multiple pores; pectoral fin-rays 12–16; 9+8 segmented principal caudal rays, 15 branched, upper and lower unbranched; unbranched procurrent rays, longest segmented; teeth in one or multiple rows on premaxilla, dentary, vomer, palatine, all villiform or absent on palatine; six infraorbitals, bony shelf on third infraorbital; anterior ceratohyal smooth or notched; developed gill rakers 10–19; 10+14 vertebrae; 8 ribs; 8 epipleurals; low crest on PU2.

Distribution. Pristiapogon is wide spread from East Africa, Red Sea, Indian Ocean Islands, Indonesia, Philippines, Pacific islands to Hawaii, Japan, French Polynesia and Australia. One species of Pristicon Fraser 1972 is restricted to the West Pacific. Another species reaches out to some islands on the Pacific Plate. One species of Pristicon has been reported from the west coast of India, with a gap between India and Indonesia ( Suresh & Thomas 2007).

Remarks. This tribe contains two genera, Pristiapogon and Pristicon , corresponding to the clade VI 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 ). Although bootstrap values supporting the tribe were not so high (62 and 56% BPs in ML and MP analyses, respectively), this tribe is morphologically well-defined: relatively large body with serrations on the preopercle ridge (a likely synapomorphy), edges and infraorbitals (a likely synapomorphy). Species of Pristiapogon usually have a darkish single stripe and/or a variable basicaudal spot while Pristicon have bars or saddles under the dorsal fins and spots at the base of the caudal fin or on the opercle.
