Abstract

The three syntypes of Herops munda De Vis (1884), the holotype of Dules marginatus boninensis Fowler (1907), and several Ryukyu specimens of Kuhlia boninensis were compared morphologically, and it was concluded that K. boninensis is a junior synonym of K. munda. Kuhlia munda is distinguished from congeners by the following combination of characteristics: number of lateral line scales 47–51, preorbital serrae 12–23, caudal fin with base and all margins broadly black, and the chevron-shaped central part pale.
