Squirrelfishes and soldierfishes (Holocentridae) are among the most
conspicuous species in the nocturnal reef fish community. However, there
is no clear consensus regarding their evolutionary relationships, which is
reflected in a complicated taxonomic history. We collected DNA sequence
data from multiple single copy nuclear genes and one mitochondrial gene
sampled from over fifty percent of the recognized holocentrid species and
infer the first species-level phylogeny of the Holocentridae. Our results
strongly support the monophyly of the clades Myripristinae (soldierfishes)
and Holocentrinae (squirrelfishes). The molecular phylogenies differ with
regard to previous hypotheses of relationships within the Myriprisitinae,
resolving a clade of cryptic reef associated and deep water non-reef
dwelling lineages (Corniger+Plectrypops+Ostichthys) that is the sister
lineage to a monophyletic Myripristis. Within Holocentrinae, Neoniphon and
Sargocentron are strongly supported as paraphyletic, while Holocentrus is
nested within Sargocentron. Using Bayesian ancestral state reconstruction
methods, we demonstrate the taxonomically diagnostic characters for
Neoniphon and Sargocentron likely represent character states with a
complex evolutionary history that is not reflective of shared common
ancestry. We propose a new classification for Holocentrinae, recognizing
four lineages that are treated as genera: Sargocentron Fowler, 1904,
Holocentrus Scopoli, 1777, Flameo Jordan and Evermann, 1898, and Neoniphon
Castelnau, 1875.
