- Key to species of the Polysteganus from Indian Ocean 1 a Large oval dark blotch on lateral line below 5 th and 6 th dorsal-fin spines in adults, but no dark blotch in 9 cm juveniles; body with 4 or 5 wide blue stripes (more than 1 / 3 width of black pupil diameter).............................. P. undulosus 1 b No dark blotch on lateral body; 7 or 8 narrow blue stripes (less than 1 / 4 width of black pupil diameter) or lines of blue spots on body if present....................................................................................... 2 a 2 a Greatest body depth at preopercle vertical edge; lower-limb gill-rakers 14–16......................... P. praeorbitalis 2 b Greatest body depth at pectoral-fin base; lower-limb gill-rakers 10–13............................................ 3 3 a Body with 7 or 8 longitudinal blue stripes.......................................................... P. baissaci 3 b No longitudinal blue stripes or lines of blue spots on body..................................................... 4 4 a Caudal fin weakly forked, nearly truncate if widely spread; distinct bony bulge before and above eye in specimens about 60 cm SL (bulge probably not apparent in juveniles); body reddish orange, without lines of blue spots........... P. mascarenensis 4 b Caudal fin forked; no strong bony bulge both before and above eye; body reddish yellow often with clear irregular lines of blue spots................................................................................................ 5 5 a Scale rows between 5 th dorsal fin spine and lateral line 4 1⁄2; no irregular lines of blue spots; rear margin of membrane of branchiostegal rays yellow, plus yellow color on a few body scales just above upper pectoral-fin base..................................................................................................... Polysteganus cerasinus n. sp. 5 b Scale rows between the 5 th dorsal fin spine and lateral line 5 1⁄2– 7 1⁄2; no or 7–8 irregular lines of blue spots; rear margin of membrane of branchiostegal rays white (not yellow).......................................................... 6 6 a Blue iridescence in each body scale on dorsal and lateral sides of body visible at some angles, and no irregular lines of blue spots; upper caudal-fin lobe yellow, lower red..................................... Polysteganus flavodorsalis n. sp. 6 b No blue iridescence in body scales on dorsal and lateral side; 7 or 8 irregular lines of blue spots on body, visible at some angles; both caudal-fin lobes with pink or red membranes...................................................... 7 7 a Scale rows above lateral line 6 1⁄2; pored lateral-line scales 51 or 52; 7 or 8 faint irregular lines of blue spots on body, visible at some angles; dorsal-fin rays reddish pink but with no bright yellow upper margin; canines large, both upper and lower canines on both jaws usually visible even when mouth closed; body deeper, 44–46 % (mean 44 %) of SL (Figs. 1 A, 2 A)............................................................................................... P. coeruleopunctatus 7 b Scale rows above lateral line 7 1⁄2; pored lateral-line scales 53–55; 7 or 8 distinct irregular lines of blue spots on body (often present even in preserved specimens); dorsal-fin rays reddish pink or orangish red with bright yellow upper margin; canines somewhat smaller, generally only upper canines visible when mouth closed; body somewhat slender, 40–43 % (mean 42 %) of SL (Figs. 1 B, 2 B)........................................................................ P. lineopunctatus
