Schuettea is a genus of marine ray-finned fishes native to Australia.[2] They are commonly referred to as "pomfrets" but are not closely related to true pomfrets of the Bramidae.[3]
Their taxonomic status is currently uncertain; they were formerly placed as the only other extant genus of the family Monodactylidae,[2] but more recent phylogenetic studies suggests they belong to the order Acropomatiformes as an incertae sedis member. They are not yet assigned to a family.[3][4]
Species
There are currently two recognized species in this genus:[2][3]
- Schuettea scalaripinnis Steindachner, 1866 (eastern pomfret)
- Schuettea woodwardi (Waite, 1905) (Woodward's pomfret)
