  • Meiacanthus (Meiacanthus) crinitus Smith-Vaniz Originally described from 11 specimens (Smith-Vaniz 1987) from two localities in West Irian (now West Papua Province, Indonesia), the following additional collections are now available, the Solomon Is. one representing a significant range extension: WAM P. 31442 -003 (34.5 mm SL), Raja Ampat Islands, Kri I., 0° 33 'S, 130 ° 41 'E, 5– 10 m.; WAM P. 31443 -004 (34.2 mm SL), Raja Ampat Islands, Wai I., 0° 41 'S, 130 ° 43 'E, 1– 3 m.; WAM P. 32538 -001 (2, 36.4–41.9 mm SL) and USNM 396703 (2, 41.7 –42.0 mm SL), Solomon Is., Santa Ysabel I., 7 ° 24 'S, 158 ° 8 'E, 2– 4 m. The second author has also photographed M. crinitus at Halmahera, Buli Bay (0° 47.378 'N, 128 ° 21.568 'E) and at Lembeh Strait, North Sulawesi (1 ° 27.014 'N, 125 ° 12.358 'E). These photographs and specimens agree well with the original description, especially in the pattern of the lateral stripes on the caudal peduncle or caudal-fin base which terminate as narrow lines, the lower stripe typically ending in a small separated spot, Fig. 21.
