The pseudolabrine wrasses are saltwater fish of the tribe Pseudolabrini, a subgroup of the wrasse family. They are distributed throughout the temperate Pacific and Indian Oceans, being absent from tropical (low latitude) waters.[1]
Taxonomy
[edit]The pseudolabrine wrasses were originally conceived as a subgroup of the julidine wrasses in 1988. In 2005, Westneat and Alfaro recognized that the group was monophyletic and likely the sister group of Julidini, and thus tentatively proposed the creation of the tribe Pseudolabrini. This classification was additionally supported by Hughes et al in 2023.[1][2]
