Introduction

Heniochus is a genus of butterflyfishes native to the Indo-Pacific. Though very similar in appearance to the Moorish idol (Zanclus cornutus), the members of this genus are not closely related to it.

Species

There are currently eight recognized species in this genus:

  • Heniochus acuminatus (Linnaeus, 1758) (Pennant coralfish)
  • Heniochus chrysostomus G. Cuvier, 1831 (Threeband pennantfish)
  • Heniochus diphreutes D. S. Jordan, 1903 (False moorish idol)
  • Heniochus intermedius Steindachner, 1893 (Red Sea bannerfish)
  • Heniochus monoceros G. Cuvier, 1831 (Masked bannerfish)
  • Heniochus pleurotaenia C. G. E. Ahl, 1923 (Phantom bannerfish)
  • Heniochus singularis H. M. Smith & Radcliffe, 1911 (Singular bannerfish)
  • Heniochus varius (G. Cuvier, 1829) (Horned bannerfish)
