*Species names were revised according to recent taxonomic updates. These include the following Lessepsian species: Sauridamacrolepis (see Inoue & Nakabo 2006; GolaniBogorodsky 2010), reported as Sauridaundosquamis in previous studies; Sillagosuezensis (see Tikochinski et al, 2013; Golani et al., 2014), reported as Sillagosihamain previous studies;Pempheris rhomboideareported as Pempheris vanicolensis in previous studies. Note that here we followed Randall et al. (2013). Instead Koeda et al (2014) would identify it as P. mangula.
