Review of the southern hemisphere fish family Chironemidae (Perciformes: Cirrhitoidei)

Chironemidae are marine coastal fishes distributed only in the southern Pacific Ocean, off Australia, New Zealand, Lord Howe Island, Kermadec Island, Norfolk Island and the oceanic islands off northern (San Félix and San Ambrosio Islands) and central Chile (Juan Fernández Archipelago).
