Taeniamia is a genus of cardinalfishes native to the Indian Ocean and the western Pacific Ocean.

Species

There are currently 15 recognized species in this genus,[3], although FishBase only recognises 14 and treats T. sansibaricus as synonymous with T. fucata.[4] but T. sansibaricus is recognised as valid by the Catalog of Fishes:[5]
