Taxon Notes:

Updated from Plectranthias pallidus after Gill et al 2021 reported it to be a synonym of P. retrofasciatus. Sih et al. (2017) recorded P. kelloggi from the central Great Barrier Reef (ca 18°12′S, 147°15′E and 18°15′S, 147°23′E) based on video footage from baited cameras in 155–179 m, but their observations also appear to be referable to P. retrofasciatus. In Australia, known from off Townsville (17°58.5′ S 147°00.5′ E) south to off Lady Elliott Island (24°04.0′S, 152°37.8′E) in 155-220m.
