- Description
- Rabaulichthys stigmaticus is described as a new species of serranid fish of the subfamily Anthiinae from four male specimens collected in 35 m on a rubble bottom off Ari Aroll in the Republic of Maldives, it is distinct from the only other known species of the genus, R. altipinnis Allen from New Britain, in having a longer snout (6.7-7.1%SL, versus 5.5-6.4%SL), a higher dorsal fin in the adult male (30-39% SL), a large quadrangular dark spot on the side of the body above the anal fin, and an elongate black blotch in the soft portion of the dorsal fin. Specimens of a possible third species taken in a dredge at Condor Reef, Caroline Islands are discussed.
