WA Museum Records and Supplements | Updated 1 decade ago

Abstract
A new species of monacanthid fish, Thamnaconus fijiensis from Fiji, It is distinguished from other members of the genus by the 4-5 lines of spots along the side of the body. T. fajardoi Smith from off the cast coast of Africa appears to be its closest relative, differing only in the more closely spaced body spotting and notably larger scales.
