Scientific Name Notes: | Iwatsuki et al 2007 examined the lectotype of Chrysophrys tumifrons, concluding that the specimen was actually the species recognised as Evynnis japonica Tanaka, 1931, and therefore a senior synonym of that species. Evynnis tumifrons (Temminck & Schlegel, 1843) has not been recorded from Australia. Dentex spariformis Ogilby, 1910 (described from Moreton Island) and previously considered a synonym of Dentex tumifrons, was therefore resurrected. Most Australian records of Dentex tumifrons probably refer to Dentex spariformis, but note that Dentex carpenteri was also recently described from Australia (37353018). | ||||||
