Callionymidae

Dragonets are small percomorph marine fish of the diverse family Callionymidae (from the Greek kallis, "beautiful" and '''', "name") found mainly in the tropical waters of the western Indo-Pacific. They are benthic organisms, spending most of their time near the sandy bottoms, at a depth of roughly two hundred meters. There exist 139 species of the fish, in nineteen genera.

Synchiropus is a genus of fish in the family Callionymidae found mainly in the tropical waters of the Indo-Pacific region. This genus has a complex taxonomic history, with differing authorities accepting subgenera, such as Foetorepus and Neosynchiropus, or lumping them into one genus.

Foetorepus is a genus of dragonets. The validity of this genus has been questioned with some experts regarding it as a junior synonym of Synchiropus.
