  abstract = {{T}he species-specific character of sounds in the animal kingdom has been extensively documented, yet research on fishes has predominantly focused on a limited number of species, overlooking the potential of acoustic signals to reflect broader taxonomic ranks. {I}n this study, we analyzed acoustic data of hand-held sounds from 388 specimens spanning 5 genera and 33 species within the family {H}olocentridae, with the objective of evaluating the use of sound characteristics for taxonomic discrimination across various levels (subfamily, genus, species). {S}ounds could be indicative of grouping. {T}axa discriminability depends on taxonomic level; the higher the taxonomic level, the better the discrimination of taxa based on sounds. {A}nalogous to the role of morphological traits in taxonomic delineation, this research corroborates the utility of acoustic features in identifying fish taxa across multiple hierarchical levels. {R}emarkably, certain holocentrid species have evolved complex sound patterns characterized by unique temporal arrangements where pulses are not continuous but emitted in blocks, facilitating the exploitation of the acoustic space.},
