It is just possible that the description given by M. Valenciennes of his /Scams lunu- 
latus may be intended for this species ; but the original specimen appears to be lost, 
and the description is insufficient for identification.

The specimens from Zanzibar were found to differ somewhat from those previously 
described ; there are two or three conical teeth at the inner angle of the lower jaw, 
which are stronger than those on the upper. Having examined the typical specimen of 
the species ceded by Dr. Bleeker to the British Museum, we find that the teeth in the 
lower jaw are absent on one side only, but in the other they are as well developed as in 
the Zanzibar specimen. In preserved specimens a large light-yellowish blotch on the 
lower part of operculum (green in life) is very distinct, and appears to be characteristic 
of the species.
