| Abstract: | The angelfish,Centropyge multispinis, hitherto assigned to the subgenusXiphypops Jordan, 1922 is transferred to the subgenusCentropyge Kaup, 1860, on the basis of anatomical characters. Comparison of adult specimens ofC. (C.) multispinis with 5 other species,C. (C.) nox, C. (C.) eibli, C. (X.) shepardi, C. (X.) flavicauda, andC. (X.) acanthops, confirmed its subgeneric status. |
