Parapercis cf. colemani View in CoL (sensu Randall & Francis, 1993)

Specimen examined. MNHN 2004-2526 (1, 57.7), 20°34’59”S, 164°58’59”E, New Caledonia, Coral Sea, 227– 250 m, 17 Mar. 1993. MNHN 2000-1424 (1, 81.3), 20°43’1”S, 167°0’0”E, New Caledonia, Coral Sea, 150–210 m, 6 Sep. 1985.

Remarks. Parapercis colemani was originally described from a single specimen from Norfolk Island. Johnson (2006) reported an additional 4 specimens, taken from Norfolk Island, the Lord Howe Rise, and the Norfolk Ridge. Two specimens examined herein were collected from New Caledonia at depths of 150– 250 m. Johnson (2006) also noted that his specimens were collected from 89–113 m depth, whereas the holotype was collected at a depth of only 1.5 m. The 81.3 mm specimen is somewhat different from P. col em ani, but similar to P. k a t o i Randall et al., 2008, in lacking black spots on the top of head. There are also other specimens in the MNHN collection possessing a similar appearance, but totally lacking any markings or details of coloration. More specimens, as well as information on fresh color are needed to confirm the species identification.

Comparative materials. Parapercis compressa : HUMZ 46866 (1, 102.0), 3°40’N, 109°25’E, northwestern Borneo, Indonesia, 11 Nov. 1975. HUMZ 46986 (1, 82.4), 3°08’N, 109°29’E, northwestern Borneo, Indonesia, 13 Nov. 1975.
