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 classification of the genus Cheilodactylus is not definitive. The other species traditionally placed within the "Cheilodactylus" genus do not, according to these analyses, share a common ancestor with the two in question and instead seem to belong to several different genera within Latridae, but the exact number and boundaries of these genera are not yet clear.
