Lutjanus agennes Bleeker, 1863

Irvine name. Listed partly under the correct name above and also (Irvine 276) as Lutjanus modestus Bleeker. There appears to be some confusion over whether L. modestus Bleeker, 1863 is a junior synonym of L. endecacanthus Bleeker, 1863 (Lloris and Rucabado in Quéro et al., 1990: 773–779) or of L. agennes as suggested by Allen (1985).

Reference material. Ningo, May 1930 (Irvine 97)— BMNH 1930.8 .26.32 (one: 109 mm SL). Prampram, July 1938 (Irvine 276)— BMNH 1938.12 .15.20 (one: 272 mm SL, listed as L. modestus ) .

Distribution. Coast of tropical West Africa from Senegal to Angola (Allen, 1985).
