Taxonomy edit
Dagetichthys was previously a monotypic genus which contained just D. lakdoensis. Synaptura was considered an incorrect designation by the ICZN and their species were added here.[1]
Species edit
Three species are recognized as valid:[2]
- Dagetichthys lakdoensis Stauch & Blanc, 1964
- Dagetichthys lusitanicusa (de Brito Capello, 1868)
- Dagetichthys marginatus (Boulenger, 1900)
