Nemadactylus is a genus of morwongs.

Systematics

The genus was traditionally assigned to Cheilodactylidae, but a number of papers published in the late 1990s and early 2000s placed Nemadactylus as sister to Latris, prompting its reassignment to Latridae.[1][2][3]

Species

There are currently seven recognized species in this genus:[4]

gollark: Do you know what "arbitrary" means?
gollark: Sense of community: any team activity ever.Making friends: any team activity ever.Educating people: school, somewhat.Discipline: don't know, probably can be figured out.
gollark: You can do those WITHOUT forcing people to spend time in the military, via optional things?
gollark: As vaguely bad as school is, I prefer it over an environment where you are expected to blindly follow orders, have no privacy/free time/etc, and do physical activity lots.
gollark: I don't think you know what "physically able" means.
