  abstract = {{A} comprehensive mitochondrial phylogeny of the family {M}ugilidae ({D}urand et al., {M}ol. {P}hylogenet. {E}vol. 64 (2012) 73-92 [1]) demonstrated the polyphyly or paraphyly of a proportion of the 20 genera in the family. {B}ased on these results, here we propose a revised classification with 25 genera, including 15 genera currently recognized as valid ({A}gonostomus, {A}ldrichetta, {C}estraeus, {C}haenomugil, {C}helon, {C}renimugil, {E}llochelon, {J}oturus, {M}ugil, {M}yxus, {N}eomyxus, {O}edalechilus, {R}hinomugil, {S}icamugil and {T}rachystoma), 7 resurrected genera [{D}ajaus (for {A}gonostomus monticola), {G}racilimugil (for {L}iza argentea), {M}inimugil (for {S}icamugil cascasia), {O}steomugil (for several species currently under {M}oolgarda and {V}alamugil, including {M}. cunnesius, {M}. engeli, {M}. perusii, and {V}. robustus), {P}laniliza (for {I}ndo-{P}acific {C}helon spp., {I}ndo-{P}acific {L}iza spp., and {P}aramugil parmatus), {P}licomugil (for {O}edalechilus labiosus), and {S}qualomugil (for {R}hinomugil nasutus)] and 3 new genera: {N}eochelon gen. nov. (for {L}iza falcipinnis), {P}arachelon gen. nov. (for {L} grandisquamis) and {P}seudomyxus gen. nov. (for {M}yxus capensis). {G}enus {C}helon was shown to include exclusively {C}helon spp. and {L}iza spp. from the {A}tlantic and the {M}editerranean, and {L}iza spp. species endemic to eastern southern {A}frica. {G}enus {C}renimugil should now include {C} crenilabis, {M}oolgarda seheli and {V}. buchanani. {G}enus names {L}iza, {M}oolgarda, {P}aramugil, {V}alamugil and {X}enomugil should be abandoned because they are no longer valid. {F}urther genetic evidence is required to confirm or infirm the validity of the genus {P}aracrenimugil {S}enou 1988. {T}he mitochondrial phylogeny of the 25 genera from the present revision is the following: [({S}icamugil, ({M}inimugil, {R}hinomugil)); {T}rachystoma; (({M}yxus, {N}eomyxus), ({C}estraeus, {C}haenomugil, ({A}gonostomus, {D}ajaus, {J}oturus), {M}ugil)); ({A}ldrichetta, {G}racilimugil); {N}eochelon gen. nov.; ({P}seudomyxus gen. nov., ({C}helon, {O}edalechilus, {P}laniliza, {P}arachelon gen. nov.)); (({S}qualomugil, ({E}llochelon, {P}licomugil)), ({C}renimugil, {O}steomugil))]. {A}gonostomus monticola and several species with large distribution ranges (including {M}oolgarda seheli, {M}ugil cephalus and {M}. curema) consist of separate lineages whose geographic distribution suggests they are cryptic species, thus warranting further taxonomic work in the {M}ugilidae at the infra-generic level.},
