03BA8B6F8460FFD9AFFFFBF209B4FD11.taxon	discussion	Remarks The specimens of the Mozambican population newly reported here closely overlap with the other populations in meristic and morphometric characters, independent of size (Tab. III). The specimens of the large-sized group (> 110 mm SL) of the South African population are slightly larger than in other populations, which may best explain the occurrence of minor morphometric deviations, as allometric shape changes appear to happen in larger / older specimens, too. The only noteworthy difference between the two size classes is the larger eye size in smaller specimens, a common allometric trend in goatfishes.	en	Uiblein, Franz, Hoang, Tuan Anh, Alama, Ulysses, Causse, Romain, Chacate, Osvaldo E., Fahmi, Garibay, Soledad, Matiku, Patroba (2018): A new species and new records of goatfishes of the genus Parupeneus (Mullidae) from the Indian Ocean, with updated occurrence information for P. jansenii in the Western Pacific.

03BA8B6F8464FFC5AFEFFC870A7DFE92.taxon	discussion	Remarks Main morphometric differences between size groups are shallower head through eye, shallower suborbital and shorter snout in smaller specimens. When comparing the WIO population to other areas, no noteworthy differences in morphometric characters could be found, irrespective of size. As already noted by Uiblein et al. (2017 b), the number of rudimentary gill rakers on lower limb increases with growth, while total number of gill rakers remains unaffected. Independent of size, the WIO population differs significantly in total number of gill rakers being lower (range 25 - 27) than in the other areas combined (range 26 - 29; Chi-square test for trends, p <0.0001; see also Fig. 3). Due to the added material examined in this study, 16 of the meristic and morphometric characters listed in the diagnosis had to be updated compared to the account in Uiblein et al. (2017 b). Parupeneus heptacanthus was frequently encountered at fish markets and landing sites in all six countries (Indonesia, Mozambique, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, and Vietnam) where short surveys were conducted.	en	Uiblein, Franz, Hoang, Tuan Anh, Alama, Ulysses, Causse, Romain, Chacate, Osvaldo E., Fahmi, Garibay, Soledad, Matiku, Patroba (2018): A new species and new records of goatfishes of the genus Parupeneus (Mullidae) from the Indian Ocean, with updated occurrence information for P. jansenii in the Western Pacific.

03BA8B6F8478FFC1AFC5FE070A1BF890.taxon	discussion	Remarks Based on the added material examined in this study, the data of 13 meristic and morphometric characters listed in the diagnosis required adjustments compared to the previous account by Uiblein et al. (2017 b). In addition to the intraspecific population- and size-relat- ed differences for specimens from the area between Vietnam, Indonesia, and Australia reported in Uiblein et al. (2017 b), the single large-sized specimen from Japan shows slightly shorter barbels, and a shorter seventh anal-fin ray compared to similar-sized specimens of the other populations (Tab. V). The two small-sized specimens from Japan have a slightly deeper caudal peduncle and a slightly shorter anal-fin spine (Tab. V). The single specimen from Myanmar (measurements based on the photograph only) overlaps in all obtained characters with the other populations (Fig. 6; Tab. V). This new record of P. jansenii for the NE Indian Ocean does not come as a big surprise, after P. jansenii had already been reported from the Sunda Strait (Randall, 2004), an adjacent area of the East Central Indian Ocean. Moreover, since the study of Uiblein et al. (2017 b), it is evident that P. jansenii is much more widely distributed and more common than was earlier assumed. Also, all other morphologically similar species sharing a narrow caudal peduncle (P. minys, P. nansen, and P. angulatus) are known from the WIO only. They can be distinguished by a combination of characters from P. jansenii (see subsection Interspecific Comparisons further below and Fig. 6). The photo of the Myanmar specimen (Fig. 1 H) weakly indicates a colour pattern to occur on the caudal fin consisting of three red spots, one on each lobe, and one on the fin base. Randall and Heemstra (2009) mentioned a very similar pattern to occur in P. nansen and gave it diagnostic value for this species. Photos of four additional fresh P. jansenii from Indonesia and Japan published in Gloerfelt-Tarp and Kailola (1984: 212, as Parupeneus sp. 1) and in Koeda et al. (2018: 328 - 329) all show this colour pattern. Two colour photos of P. jansenii from Australia and Vietnam published in Uiblein et al. (2017 b: Fig. 3 B, D; p. 547) also show a similar colour pattern. Consequently, we have not considered this char- Parupeneus jansenii is relatively common at fish markets in south-central Vietnam (e. g. Nha Trang) and central Philippines (e. g. southern Iloilo). From Indonesia, the most recent record from fish markets or landing sites is based on a single specimen from southern Bali (Uiblein et al., 2017 b).
