Meiacanthus (Meiacanthus) vittatus Smith-Vaniz

The cardinal fish Chileodipterus parazonatus Gon and Meiacanthus vittatus are another remarkably similar mimic pair ( Smith-Vaniz et al. 2001). No color photographs were given in the original description ( Smith-Vaniz 1976), although many photographs of this blenny have since been published, and we include one here as Fig. 10 .
