Meiacanthus (Meiacanthus) geminatus Smith-Vaniz View in CoL
The cardinal fish Chileodipterus zonatus Smith and Radcliffe is a remarkably similar appearing mimic of this species ( Smith-Vaniz et al. 2001). The same color photograph of Meiacanthus vittatus given in Allen et al. (2003:339) is here reproduced as Fig. 8 View FIGURE 8 . An excellent color photograph of this species also appears in Eichler and Myers (1997:373). Two additional specimens of M. geminatus are available from Sabah, and agree well with Smith- Vaniz's (1987) expanded description of the species: WAM P.30403-006 (47.0 mm SL, female) and WAM P.30409- 0 0 4 (44.9 mm SL, male). The second author also observed this distinctive species at two additional locations at northeastern Kalimantan, Indonesia (2°20.804'N, 118°11.031'E and 1°32.378'N, 118°23.443'E) during a survey in 2003.
