[edit]There are currently 16 recognized species in this genus:

- Kyphosus atlanticus K. Sakai & Nakabo, 2014 (Caribbean sea chub)[4]
- Kyphosus azureus (O. P. Jenkins & Evermann, 1889) (Zebra-perch sea chub)
- Kyphosus bigibbus Lacépède, 1801 (Brown chub)
- Kyphosus bosquii (Lacépède, 1802) (Bermuda sea chub)[4]
- Kyphosus cinerascens (Forsskål, 1775) (Blue sea chub)
- Kyphosus cornelii (Whitley, 1944) (Western buffalo bream)
- Kyphosus elegans (W. K. H. Peters, 1869) (Cortez sea chub)
- Kyphosus gladius Knudsen & Clements, 2013 (Gladius sea chub)

Some of the above species have now been synonymised with others within the genus; K. analogus and K. incisor with K. viagiensis, K. atlanticus and K. pacificus with K. sectatrix while K. bosquii is synonymised with K. bigibbus.[5]
