Phylogenetic relationships were reconstructed among chironemid fishes based on morphological and molecular (lrRNA, NADH4, S7 ribosomal protein) characters. Two sympatric species from Juan Fernandez in the southeast Pacific are not sister taxa, but rather exhibit independent relationships to Australian/New Zealand chironemids. The most plausible explanation for these relationships and contemporary distributions is an Australian/New Zealand origin of the family, followed by two trans-Pacific dispersal and colonization events, facilitated by larval entrapment within the West Wind Drift. This study demonstrates that the diversity of taxa on an island can reflect multiple colonizations, rather than in situ diversification, even in the case of very small, isolated, and geologically recent islands. When taken in conjunction with studies of related taxa, our results indicate that transoceanic dispersal of temperate cirrhitoid fishes in the South Pacific has been frequent and unidirectional. Molecular estimates of divergence time between southeast Pacific chironemids and their western relatives predate the emergence of Juan Fernandez, consistent with hypotheses that much of the marine nearshore faunas of young southeast Pacific islands may be the product of successive transfer from older, now submerged islands.
