Taxon Notes:

Although previously classified in the genus Pseudanthias Bleeker, 1871, the holotype of Anthias xanthomaculatus Fourmanoir & Rivaton, 1979 from New Caledonia was recently shown to be a juvenile specimen of the genus Odontanthias Bleeker, 1873, and possibly conspecific with Odontanthias grahami Randall & Heemstra, 2006 from eastern Australia. Recent collection of a size series of six specimens from the Lord Howe Rise confirms that the two nominal species are conspecific. Odontanthias grahami is therefore a synonym of Odontanthias xanthomaculatus (Fourmanoir & Rivaton, 1979) [see Gill & Tang 2022 for further details]. In Australia, known from east of Coolum (26°32′S, 153°36′E), Qld south to off Brunswick Heads (28°27′S, 153°50′E), NSW in 110-210m depth.
