Etymology: Pronotogrammus: Greek, pro = first, in front of + Greek, noton = back + Greek, gramma = signal, letter (Ref. 45335).
Environment / Climate / Range
Ecology
Marine; demersal; depth range 65 - 230 m (Ref. 34841). Tropical, preferred ?; 32°N - 36°S
Western Atlantic: Florida, USA and Bermuda through the Greater Antilles to Rio Grande, Brazil (Ref. 47377).
Size / Weight / Age
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 20.0 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 7251); common length : 16.0 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 5217); max. reported age: 15 years (Ref. 96848)
Adults are commonly found on outer continental shelf reefs. They primarily feed on zooplankton while common in the diet of larger predators like snappers and groupers (Ref. 96848).
Are monandric (males are secondary), protogynous hermaphrodites. About 50% of females transform into males at 7.63 cm SL and 1.0 yr of age (Ref. 96848). During the spawning period, oocytes are found to be in different stages of development indicating asynchronous oocyte development and indeterminate fecundity (Ref. 96848).

Estimates of some properties based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82805): PD
50 = 0.6250 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00245 (0.00114 - 0.00526), b=2.91 (2.72 - 3.10), in cm Total Length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref.
93245).
Trophic Level (Ref.
69278): 3.5 ±0.5 se; Based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref.
69278): High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Prior r = 0.58, 2 SD range = 0.32 - 1.06, log(r) = -0.54, SD log(r) = 0.3, Based on: 1 M, 1 K, 1 tgen, 1 tmax, 2 Fec records
Vulnerability (Ref.
