Abstract

Fishes of the subgenus Bodianus (Peneverreo) Gomon, 2006 from the Gulf of Aqaba, northern Red Sea, previously alternatively reported as Bodianus leucostictus [sic] (non Bennett, 1832), B. leucosticticus (non Bennett, 1832), or B. trilineatus (non Fowler, 1934), are reidentified as B. rubrisos Gomon, 2006, based on two specimens from Eilat, Israel. These specimens are redescribed. The apparently disjunct distribution of B. rubrisos is discussed.
