Systematics
editDiagramma was originally used as a tautological name for Anthias diagramma in 1792 by Marcus Elieser Bloch in error for Linnaeus’s Perca diagramma, Lorenz Oken used Bloch’s taxon as the type species of the new genus Diagramma in 1917. This is a synonym for Carl Peter Thunberg’s Perca picta of 1792. Linnaeus did not explain why he used diagramma but it may mean “marked with lines”.[3] Some authorities treat Diagramma as a synonym of Plectorhinchus,[4] while others place D. centurio in Plectorhinchus although they maintain the other four Diagramma species in a separate genus.[5]
