Cercamia is a genus of fishes in the family Apogonidae, the cardinalfishes. They are native to the Pacific and Indian Oceans.

Species

The recognized species in this genus are:^[2]

Cercamia cladara J. E. Randall & C. L. Smith, 1988
Cercamia eremia (G. R. Allen, 1987) (glassy cardinalfish)
Cercamia melanogaster G. R. Allen, Erdmann & Mahardini, 2015 (blackbelly cardinalfish) ^[3]

The former genus Apogonoides is now thought to be synonymous with Cercamia.^[4] The extinct species C. cottreaci (described as Apogonoides cottreaci) is known from the Late Miocene of Algeria.^[5]
