Tribe Hemiglyphidodontini .

— This group consists of several well-established genera, a couple of monotypic genera, and a clade containing the only damselfishes that lack a pelagic larval stage. Even though it was not named as such, the existence of a clade with some combination of these component genera ( Acanthochromis , Altrichthys , Amblyglyphidodon , Hemiglyphidodon , and Neoglyphidodon ) is consistently supported across other phylogenetic studies (e.g., Quenouille et al., 2004; Cooper et al., 2009; Cowman and Bellwood, 2011; Litsios et al., 2012a, 2012b; Frédérich et al., 2013; Rabosky et al., 2013, 2018; Lobato et al., 2014; DiBattista et al., 2016; Mirande, 2016; Gaboriau et al., 2018; Delrieu-Trottin et al., 2019).
