Antigonia is a genus of deepwater boarfishes in the monotypic family Antigoniidae,[1][2] which was previously treated as a subfamily in Caproidae (boarfishes).[3] These are deep-water species, generally found at depths below 50 m (160 ft). Various extinct species were once placed within Antigonia, but have since been moved to Eoantigonia and Proantigonia
