The recognized species in this genus are:[1]

  • Fibramia amboinensis (Bleeker, 1853) (Amboina cardinalfish)
  • Fibramia lateralis (Valenciennes, 1832) (humpback cardinalfish)
  • Fibramia thermalis (G. Cuvier, 1829) (half-barred cardinalfish)
  • Fibramia keralensis Carolin, Bajpai, Maurya & Schwarzhans, 2022 (otolith-based fossil species)[2]
