Type species:
Mesopristes macracanthus Bleeker, 1873 by subsequent designation, see Fowler, H.W. 1918. New and little-known fishes from the Philippine Islands. Proceedings of the Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia 70: 2-71 figs 1-27 [36]. Type species:
Datnia argentea Cuvier, 1829 by subsequent designation, see Kottelat, M. 2000.
