Angelfishes, Paper Tigers, and the Devilish Taxonomy of the Centropyge flavissima Complex.

The Journal of heredity - 1 Jan 2016

Abstract excerpt

The pygmy angelfishes (genus Centropyge) provide numerous examples of discordance between color morphology, taxonomy, and evolutionary genetic lineages. This discordance is especially evident in the Centropyge flavissima complex, which includes three primary color morphs, three previously recognized species (C. flavissima, Centropyge eibli, and Centropyge vrolikii) and three distinct mitochondrial (mtDNA)...
