Richardson says of Lethrinus anatarius: "This fish, judging from

 but the Chinese fishermen give it another designation, wliich is here 

 translated as a provisional specific name." Naked parts of head 

 chestnut-brown, and tinge of same along back. Face banded with 

 purple, but with addition of stripe from eye along upper preorbital 

 edge to middle of jaw. Each scale down level with under pectoral
