Type Status:
Holotype
Place:
Honolulu, Hawaii, Honolulu County, Hawaii, United States, Pacific
Notes:
Tin tag 03448. This is not Illustration P13124 (that illustration matches M.C.Z. 28895 with field no. 04931 and 8 inches TL). Original publication (Jordan & Evermann 1903:176; Bulletin of the U. S. Fish Commission v. 22) erroneously states 6 inches TL but in the "Cat. of Spec. of Hawaiian & P.I. Fishes, w/ a list of tag numbers, states 9 inches TL which closely matches this specimen measured in May/2008 (225mm TL). Original measurements were measured only to the nearest quarter inch so todays measurements may vary plus/minus .25 inch. See attached multimedia.
