Type species. Gnathia termitoides Leach, 1814 ; see Cohen and Poore (1994)

Remarks. Gnathia is the largest genus in the family with more than 110 species. It has a global distribution and extremely common in coral-reef habitats. Gnathia juveniles have been reported from teleost and elasmobranch hosts. The generic revision of Cohen and Poore (1994) is still accepted.
