- Description
- Online version of original print edition of the Special Publication of the J.L.B. Smith Institute of Ichthyology; No. 46, The Indian Ocean angelfish from southern Africa heretofore identified as Pomacanthus striatus (Riippell, 1836) is Pomacanthus rhomboides (Gilchrist and Thompson, 1908). P. striatus is shown to be the young of P. maculosus (Forsskål, 1775) which is not known from South Africa; it occurs in the Red Sea, Persian Gulf, and along the East African coast to at least 13°S. Holacanthus coeruleus Cuvier, described from a juvenile specimen from the Red Sea, is a junior synonym of Pomacanthus asfur (Forsskål), not P. semicirculatus (Cuvier), thus casting doubt on the record of the letter from the Red Sea.
