Chlorurus is a genus of parrotfish from the Indian and Pacific Oceans.[3][4]
Etymology
[edit]The word 'Chlorurus' comes from the Greek words 'chloros', which means green and 'oura', which means tail.
Evolution
[edit].jpg)
Chlorurus is most closely related to its sister genus Scarus. Most recent phylogenetic analyses find that the two genera diverged during the late Miocene (Messinian).[5] In both genera, most of their diversification occurred some time later, within the last 3.5 million years during the Pliocene.[6] In contrast, coral reefs in their modern form were established much earlier, during the Miocene.[5]
A 2012 phylogenetic analysis of 16 of the 18 Chlorurus species recovered 5 major monophyletic clades.[5]
Species
[edit]There are 18 species:[4]
