Description
Gymnothorax favagineus Bloch & Schneider, 1801
Α*AΟR
Gymnothorax favagineus Bloch & Schneider, 1801:525, pl. 105 (type locality: Tharangambadi, India). Chen, 1956:80; Chen & Weng, 1967:33; Chen, 1969:129; Chen & Yu, 1986:249; Chen et al., 1994:50; Shao et al., 1994b:64; Shen et al., 1993:103; Chen, 2004:28; Chen & Loh 2007:80; Shao et al., 2008:238; Ho et al., 2010:table 1; Loh et al., in press:table 1.
Remarks. This species is easily confused with G. isingteena, and the records above might include misidentification of that species. The color pattern seems to change with growth and further study is needed to confirm its identification.
