Scorpaenodes minor (Smith, 1958) View in CoL
Remarks: Motomura et al. (2009b) reported the new record of Scorpaenodes albaiensis from East Asia and re-identified Taiwanese S. minor as S. albaiensis . They indicated the two species are closely related and similar in overall body appearance, but S. minor can be distinguished from S. albaiensis by larger and fewer scales on longitudinal series (27–32 vs. 37–42 in S. albaiensis ). We have examined two specimens (NMMB-P007032) with 31–32 scales in longitudinal series that conform with S. minor .
