306 RANDALL AND RANDALL 



TABLE 1 (cont'd) 



Family LABRIDAE (cont'd) 



Thalassoma Irilobatum (Lacepedc, 1801). 



Thalassoma fuscum Schultz, 1960. Thalassoma fuscum (Lacepede), described in Labrus, is a junior homonym of L fuscus 

 Gmelin, as pointed out by Randall, 1955a. 

 Thalassoma umbrosfygma Schultz, 1960 (in part). 

 Wetmorella albofasciata Schultz and Marshall, 1954: Randall, 1983. 

 Wetmorella nigropinnata (Seale, 1900). 



Wetmorella ocellata Schultz and Marshall, 1954. Randall (1983) determined that IV. ocellata is a junior synonym of 

 W. nigropinnata. 

 Xyrichtys aneifensis (Gunther, 1862). 



Hemipteronotus aneitensis Schultz, 1960. 

 Xyrichtys celebicus (Bleeker, 1856). 



Hemipteronotus celebicus Schultz, 1960. 

 Xyrichtys pavo Valenciennes, 1839: Randall, 1986. 

 Family SCARIDAE 



Calotomus carolinus (Valenciennes, 1839). 



Calotomus spinidens Schultz, 1958; Schultz, 1960. Bruce and Randall (1985) showed that Schultz and some other 

 authors have misidentified C. carolinus as C. spinidens (Quoy and Gaimard). 

 Calotomus spinidens (Quoy and Gaimard, 1824): Randall, 1986. 

 Cetoscarus bicolor (Riippell, 1829). 



Chhrurus bicolor Schultz, 1958; Schultz, 1960. 



Chhrurus pulchellus Schultz, 1958; Schultz, 1960. Randall (1963b) found that Cetoscarus pulchellus (Riippell) Is the 

 terminal male of C. bicolor. 

 Hipposcarus longiceps (Valenciennes, 1839). 



Scarus harid Schultz, 1958; Schultz, 1960. Randall and Bruce (1983) showed that Hipposcarus harid (Forsskal) Is an 

 Indian Ocean species distinct from the Pacific H. longiceps. 

 Scarus altipinnis (Steindachner, 1879). 



Scarus breuifilis Schultz, 1958; Schultz, 1960. 



Scarus chhrodon Schultz, 1958; Schultz, 1960. Randall and Cheat (1980) pointed out that S. chlorodon Jenyns Is the 

 terminal male (and a junior synonym) of S prasiognathos Valenciennes. Scarus breuifilis (Gunther) is a junior synonym of 

 S. altipinnis based on the initial phase. 

 Scarus atropectoralis Schultz, 1958; Randall, 1986. 

 Scarus bleekeri (de Beaufort, 1940): Randall and Choat, 1980. 

 Scarus dimidiatus Bleeker, 1859: Randall, 1986. 

 Scarus festiuus Valenciennes, 1840. 



Scarus lunula Schultz, 1958; Schultz 1960. Randall and Bruce (1983) determined that S. festiuus Is an older name for 

 S, lunula (Snyder). 

 Scarus flauipectoralis Schultz, 1958: Randall and Choat, 1980. 



Scarus forsteni (Bleeker, 1861): Randall, 1986. Schultz (1958; 1969) confused two scarids under the name S. tepidus 

 (non-Jenys). Randall and Choat (1980) followed but used the name S. tricolor Bleeker. Randall (1986) has shown 

 that the true S. tricolor apparently does not occur in the Marshall Islands, but the related S. forsteni does. 

 Scarus frenatus Lacepede, 1802: Randall, 1986. 

 Scarus frontalis Valenciennes, 1839. 



Scarus jonesi Schultz, 1958; Schultz, 1960. Randall and Bruce (1983) mentioned that S. frontalis has priority over 

 S. jonesi (Streets) in their account of the related S. enneacanthus Lacepede. 

 Scarus ghobban Forsskal, 1775: Randall, 1986. 

 Scarus gibbus Riippell, 1828. 



Scarus microrhinos Schultz, 1958; Schultz, 1960. Smith (1959) showed that Schultz (1958) was in error in applying the 

 name Chhrurus gibbus (Rupf>ell) to the largest of the parrotfishes, Bolbometopon muricatum (Valenciennes). Bolbometopon 

 muricatum is not known from the Marshall Islands, but it occurs in the Gilberts and the Line Islands so it might 

 eventually be found in the southern Marsheills. Scarus microrhinos Bleeker is regarded as a junior synonym of S. 

 gibbus by Randall and Bruce (1983), following Schultz (1969). 

 Scarus globiceps Valenciennes, 1840: Schultz, 1958; Schultz, 1960. 



Scarus aeruginosus Schultz, 1958, 1960 (in part). Randall and Bruce (1983) documented this misidentification. The 

 true S. aeruginosus Valenciennes is a junior synonym of the Red Sea endemic S. ferrugineus Forsskal (Randall and 

 Ormond, 1978). 

 Scarus niger Forsskal, 1775: Randall, 1986. 

 Scarus ouiceps Valenciennes, 1839: Randall, 1986. 

 Scarus psittacus Forsskal, 1775. 



Scarus forsteri Schultz, 1958; Schultz, 1960. Randall and Ormond (1978) demonstrated that S. psittacus (the type 

 species of Scarus) is a senior synonym of S. forsteri Valenciennes; they described a neotype of S. psittacus.
