Sanzo (1930) recorded Melichthys ringens from Quseir and Assab respectively. Dor (1984) considered this species to be a synonym of Melichthys indicus Randall & Klausewitz, 1973 and included it in CLOFRES despite his remark that according to Randall & Klausewitz, Sanzo's records were misidentifications.
