Taxonomy
Phylogenetic studies have suggested that the western Atlantic species within the tribe Liopropomini , including the genus Bathyanthias , form a monophyletic group with respect to the Indo-Pacific species currently classified as being within this genus. This further suggests that Bathyanthias is nested within Liopropoma , these studies indicate that more research is needed into the limits of the genus Liopropoma .[ 6]
