 [Note: Due to the inaccurate naming of this species as Large Heath by Luff, in a paper read before the 

 Society in 1882, but only published in 1889, the Large Heath was quoted by K. Hawkes in his book 

 (1977:67, 68) and was following the listing by Luff, commenting that the species was missing in Shayer's 

 1966 [sic] paper (1967a:28), here, Shayer had correctly listed the species by its proper vernacular name of 

 Gatekeeper]

Island not given - listed [specimens taken, dates not given, pre 1878], F.A. Walker, 1878a:35 [recorded as 

 Epinephele janira}; & F.A. Walker, 1888(21):151 [recorded as Epinephele ianira [sic]}. [In Walker's 

 paper of 1888, he stated that specimens of this species are labelled in his collection from the Channel 

 Islands (apparently lacking specific data). He suggested that the species most probably occurs in all of 

 the islands, it is now known that he was correct in this statement. It can be assumed that his specimens 

 were part of the collection he and his father made in the period of 26.v.-10.vii.l860 and are the same 

 specimens later referred to in his species list in the 1878a catalogue. Until the original specimens can 

 be traced and the data be verified, they are here regarded as originating from the collection made in 

 I860].
