  abstract = {{T}he fish genus {S}iganus ({S}iganidae) is widely distributed in the coastal habitats of all the tropical {I}ndo-{P}acific, with 28 nominal species recognized so far, based on general morphology and coloration patterns. {A} mitochondrial phylogeny of 16 {S}iganidae species, based on the partial nucleotide sequences of the cytochome b gene, was produced. {I}ndividual haplotypes of given nominal species generally clustered at the extremity of long branches, thus validating the current taxonomy. {H}owever, {S}. lineatus haplotypes formed a paraphyletic group including {S}. guttatus, while {S}. fuscescens haplotypes were apparently splitted in two groups, calling for further investigation. {S}. woodlandi and {S}. argenteus formed a monophyletic group, as expected from their close morphological relatedness, although they were separated by a substantial, 14.5-16.3% nucleotide distance. {A}mong eight species sampled from different locations across the {I}ndo-{W}est {P}acific, {S}. argenteus and {S}. spinus showed the lowest degree of geographic differentiation, a result that correlated well with their extended pelagic larval stage. {F}ixation index estimates were high in all six other species tested ({S}. doliatus, {S}. fuscescens, {S}. lineatus, {S}. puellus, {S}. punctatus, {S}. vulpinus). {T}he cytochrome b gene fragment chosen here proved useful as a barcode in {S}iganidae.},
