Gymnothorax eurostus (Abbott, 1860) View in CoL
AAAΟR
Thyrsoidea eurosta Abbott, 1860:478 (type locality: Hawaiian Islands).
Gymnothorax eurostus (Abbott, 1860) View in CoL : Shen et al., 1993:103; Chen et al., 1994:50; Chen et al., 1997:appendix 1; Shao et al., 2008:238; Ho et al., 2010:table 1; Loh et al., in press:table 1.
Gymnothorax meleagris View in CoL (not of Shaw, 1795): Chen & Weng, 1967:20; Shen et al., 1993:103.
Remarks. A common species is found in coral reef regions around Taiwan. It is similar to G. meleagris , and the two species have been confused in the past (i.e. Chen & Weng, 1967). In a further complication, Hatooka (2002:1453) concluded that the holotype of G. meleagris is actually the species currently known as G. e u ro s t u s. Smith (2012) examined this specimen and found the identification difficult to resolve. Further studies are needed, but we retain the traditional interpretation here.
