This also means the broader definition of the genus Cheilodactylus is polyphyletic. All other species traditionally placed  within  the genus "Cheilodactylus" clearly do not, according to these analyses, belong with these two in Cheilodactylus and instead appear to belong in several different genera within Latridae, but how many and their exact delimitation is not clear at present.
This also implies that the wider classification of the genus Cheilodactylus is non-monophyletic. All other species traditionally included in the "Cheilodactylus" genus do not, according to these analyses, belong with these two in Cheilodactylus and instead appear to belong in several different genera within Latridae, but how many and their exact boundaries are not clear at present.
