  • Taeniamia biguttata (Lachner, 1951) (twinspot cardinalfish)
  • Taeniamia bilineata (Gon & J. E. Randall, 1995)
  • Taeniamia buruensis (Bleeker, 1856) (Buru cardinalfish)
  • Taeniamia flavofasciata (Gon & J. E. Randall, 2003)
  • Taeniamia fucata (Cantor, 1849) (orange-lined cardinalfish)
  • Taeniamia kagoshimanus (Döderlein (de), 1883)
  • Taeniamia leai (Waite, 1916) (Lea's cardinalfish)
  • Taeniamia lineolata (G. Cuvier, 1828) (shimmering cardinal)
  • Taeniamia macroptera (G. Cuvier, 1828) (dusky-tailed cardinalfish)
  • Taeniamia melasma (Lachner & W. R. Taylor, 1960) (blackspot cardinalfish)
  • Taeniamia mozambiquensis (J. L. B. Smith, 1961) (Mozambique cardinalfish)
