Bleeker has established the genus Labrichiliys for L. cyanotcenia, 

 and distinguished it from Pseudolabrus (ruhiginosus) by the single 

 series of teeth on the lower pharyngeal. L. celidota has two series, 

 L. tetrica, L. rubiginosa, and L. hiculenta have three. All these series 

 are very irregular, and form rather a band or a patch.
