Antigonia is a genus of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Caproidae, the boarfishes. This genus is found in the warmer oceans around the world and is the only extant genus in the subfamily Antigoniinae.

Taxonomy

Antigonia was first proposed as a monospecific genus in 1843 by the English zoologist Richard Thomas Lowe when he described Antigonia capros as a new species.[1] When Lowe described A. capros he gave its type locality asMadeira.[2] The 5th edition of Fishes of the World classifies this genus in the Antigoniinae, a subfamily of the Caproidae, within the order Caproiformes,[3] as do other authorities.[4] However, other authorities classify this taxon as a family, the Antigoniidae, and classify and the Caproidae in the order Acanthuriformes.[5]

Etymology

Antigonia, the genus name, was not explained by Lowe but it is probably a combination of anti, meaning "against", and goneos, which means "ancestor". This may be reference to how A. capros is so distinctive yet seems to elucidate the ancestry of relayed forms which Lowe felt were randomly classified before he described A. capros.[6]

Species

The currently recognized species in this genus are:[7]
