Chelidoperca barazeri Lee, Lee, Matsunuma & Chen, 2019 is redescribed based on two sub-adult types and 12 additional non-types specimens collected from the type locality and southwestern Taiwan, respectively. The identification of the additional specimens were supported by morphological and/or molecular approaches. C. barazeri is characterized by the following combination of characters: three scale rows between lateral line and base of 6th dorsal-fin spine; pored lateral-line scales 34‒37, modally 36; modally 2+7 developed gill rakers on the upper and lower limb; soft dorsal fin with series of large yellow spots; and the anal-fin with a yellow margin. C. barazeri is most similar to C. tosaensis and can be distinguished from C. tosaensis by: relatively less pored lateral line scales, 34‒37 (vs. 37‒43, modally 39); anal-fin without series of spot; penultimate and the last dorsal- and anal-fin rays in adult not elongated (vs. well elongated in adults); presence of a faint and discontinuous stripe formed by clusters of melanophores along the mid-lateral body when preserved (vs. without or very indistinct). Furthermore, six species of Chelidoperca are confirmed occurring in the Taiwanese water by literature reviews. A key to Chelidoperca from the Taiwanese water is provided.

The familial classification and specific identity of Stigmatonotus australis Peters, 1877 has been unresolved ever since its original description. Examination of a photograph and X-radiograph of the holotype confirms placement in the serranid subfamily Anthiadinae. It is further identified to the genus Hypoplectrodes Gill, 1862 and shown to represent a juvenile specimen of the species currently called H. cardinalis Allen & Randall, 1990. Character and other evidence supporting this conclusion are summarised, including discussion of apparently contradictory characters. Consequently, the following synonymisations are proposed: the family-group name Stigmatonotidae Whitley, 1954 with Anthiadides Poey, 1861, the generic name Stigmatonotus Peters, 1877 with Hypoplectrodes Gill, 1862, and the species name H. cardinalis Allen & Randall, 1990 with S. australis Peters, 1877.

[Stigmatonotus n. gen. Body elliptical, moderately compressed; mouth deeply divided; preopercle serrated, opercle spined; suborbitals narrow, with large pores, unarmed; a band of small, pointed teeth on the jaws, vomer, and palatine bones; scales ctenoid, lateral line incomplete. One long dorsal fin with fewer spines than rays; anal fin with three spines; pelvic fin standing slightly in front of the pectoral fins, with a spine and five rays. Gill opening wide, with six branchiostegal rays; three and a half gills; free filamentous pseudobranchs.

The hamlets (Hypoplectrus spp., Perciformes: Serranidae) constitute a distinctive model system for the study of a variety of ecological and evolutionary processes including the evolution and maintenance of simultaneous hermaphroditism and egg trading, sex allocation, sexual selection, social-trap, mimicry, dispersal, speciation, and adaptive radiation. Addressing such fundamental and complex processes requires a good knowledge of the taxonomy and natural history of the hamlets. Here, we review the taxonomy of the hamlets, from early ichthyological studies to the most recent species description in 2018. We report a total of 72 different binomial names for Hypoplectrus, synonymized or invalidated down to 17 unambiguously recognized species today. In addition, we redescribe Hypoplectrus affinis (Poey, 1861) as a valid species. In Bocas del Toro (Panama), this hamlet is distinct from eight sympatric congeners in terms of colour pattern, body size and behaviour. Whole-genome analysis and spawning observations indicate that it is genetically distinct from sympatric congeners and reproductively isolated through assortative pairing. Based on the colour pattern we detail in its redescription, live-fish photographs, videos, and earlier reports, H. affinis occurs in Panama, Nicaragua, Mexico, the Florida Keys, Cuba, Grand Cayman, Jamaica, the Dominican Republic, Los Roques (Venezuela), Bonaire, and Tobago. We conclude with a discussion of pending taxonomic issues in this group and the species status of the hamlets in general.

(Continued) Colour in preservative: head and body pale tan; lower yellow stripe on head sometimes persists, becoming pale brown; indistinct greyish brown blotch sometimes present on upper body beneath middle of dorsal fin; dusky grey to black areas on dorsal and caudal fins of large specimens remain, becoming dusky brown to black; other fins tan, without markings. Habitat and distribution. The holotype of Odontanthias xanthomaculatus was collected at a depth of 200 m, from Passes de Bulari, which lies south of Nouméa, New Caledonia. The Australian specimens, including the holotype of O. grahami, were collected in 110–210 m off southern Queensland and northern New South Wales. The new specimens were collected from an intermediate area in New Caledonia in the vicinity of the Chesterfield Islands and Nova and Argo Banks on the Lord Howe Rise (Fig. 3), and extend the depth range to 330 m. It is likely the species is more widely distributed in the southern Coral Sea and northern Tasman Sea. Remarks. Gill & Russell (2019) noted several differences between O. grahami (i.e., Australian specimens of O. xanthomaculatus) and the holotype of O. xanthomaculatus: head spination (development of large spines on the preopercle angle and interopercle; number of preopercular serrations; number of spines on the opercle; presence or absence of serrations on the supracleithrum), relative length of the third dorsal-fin spine (elongate versus not elongate), and certain live coloration details. All these differences can be attributed to ontogenetic variation, as detailed above and in Table 2 and Figs 1–2, and we therefore consider Odontanthias grahami Randall & Heemstra a junior synonym of Anthias xanthomaculatus Fourmanoir & Rivaton. Ontogenetic variation in these features renders some characters problematic in keys to Odontanthias species published by Randall & Heemstra (2006) and White (2011), such as the length of the third dorsal-fin spine relative to other dorsal-fin spines, the size of the preopercular spine, and the coloration in life of the dorsal fin. However, we do not here offer a revised key, pending the completion of a more extensive morphological study of species in the genus, which will also address the possible inclusion of species currently assigned to Sacura Jordan & Richardson, 1910 and Meganthias Randall & Heemstra, 2006 (Gill & Russell 2019; Zajonz et al. 2020). The combination of X,14 dorsal-fin rays, 15–17 (usually 16) pectoral-fin rays and 36–41 tubed lateral line scales distinguishes O. xanthomaculatus from all species in the three genera. Rare specimens of O. elizabethae Fowler, 1923, may have this combination of characters (though usually with 18 pectoral-fin rays), but that species is readily distinguished in having more numerous gill rakers (13–15 + 30–32 = 44–47 versus 12–13 + 26–30 = 38–43), a differently shaped vomerine tooth patch (arrow shaped, with tip pointing posteriorly versus chevron to inverted heart-shaped, sometimes pointed anteriorly), and a markedly different live coloration (Randall & Heemstra 2006: pl. 3a versus Fig. 2).
