TABLE 1 (cont'd) 



Family SERRANIDAE (cont'd) 



Cephalopholis sexmaculata (Ruppell, 1830): Randall and Bcn-Tuvia, 1983. 

 CephahphoHs sonnerati (Valenciennes, 1828): Randall, 1986. 

 Cephalopholis spiloparaea (Valenciennes, 1828). 



Cephalopholis analis Randall, 1986. 

 Cephalopholis urodeta (Bloch and Schneider, 1801). 



Cephalopholis urodelus Schultz, 1953. 

 Epinephelus caeruleopunctatus (Bloch, 1790): Kendall and Goldsborough, 1911; Randall, 1986. 

 Epinephelus cyanopodus (Richardson, 1846). 



Serranus flauocaeruleus Hiyama, 1943. Many authors have mistakenly regarded £. flavocaeruleus (Lacepede) as a 



synonym of £. hoedtii (cvanopodus). 

 Epinephelus kohleri Schultz, 1953. Katayama (1960) and Randall (1980a) placed this species in the synonymy of 

 £. hoedtii. Epinephelus c^anopodus is a still older name for the species (Randall and Whitehead, 1985). 

 Epinephelus fasciatus (Forsskal, 1775). 



Epinephelus emoiyi Schultz, 1953. Katayama (1960) correctly referred emoryi to the synonymy of fasciatus. 

 Epinephelus fuscoguttatus (Forsskal, 1775). Schultz (1953) confused two species under the heading £. fuscoguttatus. 



His illustration (Plate 26 A) is £. microdon. Randall (1964a) distinguished these two related species. 

 Epinephelus hexagonatus (Bloch and Schneider, 1801): Schultz, 1953. 

 Epinephelus lanceolatus (Bloch, 1790): Schultz, 1966. 

 Epinephelus macrospilos (Bleeker, 1855). Epinephelus macrospilos Schultz, 1953. 



Serranus howlandi Gunther, 1883 and Epinephelus spilotus Schultz, 1953 are synonyms Randall (1955a) 

 erroneously regarded £. spilotus as a synonym of £ corallicola (Valenciennes). 

 Epinephelus maculatus (Bloch, 1790). 



£pinephe/us medurensis Schultz, 1953. Randall (1980a) regarded £. medurensis (Gunther) as a synonym of 

 £. maculatus. 

 Epinephelus melanostigma Schultz, 1953. Randall (1955a) provisionally placed this species in the synonymy of 



£. hexagonatus. It is now known to be valid. 

 Epinephelus merra Bloch, 1793: Schultz, 1953. 

 Epinephelus microdon (Bleeker, 1856). 



Epinephelus fuscoguttatus Schultz, 1953 (in part). 



Epinephelus horridus Schultz, 1966. Serranus horridus Valenciennes is a junior synonym of £. fuscoguttatus (Forsskal). 

 Epinephelus ongus (Bloch, 1790). 



Epinephelus summana Schultz, 1953. Randall and Ben-Tuvia (1983) have shown that £. summana (Forsskal) is endemic 

 to the Red Sea. The related £. ongus occurs elsewhere in the Indo-Pacific. 

 £pinephe/ijs socialis (Gunther, 1873): Schultz, 1953. Randall (1980a) mistakenly used a photo of £. ongus from Ponape to 



illustrate £. socialis. 

 Epinephelus spilotoceps Schultz, 1953. Randall (1955a) was in error referring this species to the synonymy of 



£. hexagonatus. 

 Epinephelus tauvina (Forsskal, 1775). 



Epinephelus elongatus Schultz, 1953. Katayama (1960) and Randall (1964a) regarded this species as a synonym of 

 £ tauvina. 

 Gracila albomarginata (Fowler and Bean, 1930): Randall, 1986. 

 Grammistes sex/ineafus (Thunberg, 1792): Schultz, 1953. 

 Gramwistops ocellatus Schultz, 1953. 

 Liopropoma pallidum (Fowler, 1938). 

 Ypsigramma pallida Schultz, 1953. 

 Liopropoma susumi (Jordan and Seale, 1906). 



Ypsigramma lineata Schultz, 1953. Randall (1955a) referred this species to the synonymy of Liopropoma susumi. 

 Ypsigramma brocki Schultz, 1953 Randall (1955a) stated that V. brocki is a probable synonym of Liopropoma susumi. 

 This fish Is also a possible hybrid of Liopropoma susumi and L. pallidum; it is still under study. 

 Liopropoma sp. A small species with two broad red stripes on side of body which extend into caudal fin; it will be 



described by Randall and Taylor who are revising the genus. 

 Luzonichth^s waitei (Fowler, 1931). 



Luzonichthi/s robustus Fourmanoir, 1977. Randall (1981b) regarded L. robustus as a probable synonym of L. waitei. 

 Plectranthias fourmanoiri Randall, 1980. 

 Plectranthias nanus Randall, 1980. 

 Plectropomus laevis (Lacepede, 1801). 



Plectropomus leopardus Schultz, 1953 (non-Lacepede). 



Plectropomus melanoleucus Randall, 1980a. Hoese et al., 1981, suspected that P. laevis (Lacepede) would have priority 

 over P. melanoleucus (Lacepede); this has been confirmed (Randall and Hoese, in press). What Schultz called P. leopardus is 

 the most common color phase of this species. ^j^.^^ ^^y^ continued on next page.)
