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

## Species

[edit]

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 †Cercamia cottreaui Arambourg, 1928 (described as Apogonoides cottreaui) is known from the Late Miocene of Algeria.[5][6][7]
