Diagnosis. A species of Trachinotus in which adults have 3–7 black spots with well-defined margins on lateral line (spots usually absent in specimens <10–13 cm FL), the largest spot usually smaller than iris diameter (larger than iris diameter in T. macrospilus and equal to or larger than eye diameter in T. botla and T. coppingeri ), and adults usually have no large spot positioned above the pectoral fin although small individuals may have 1 or 2 very small spots (adults of T. botla and coppingeri have 1 or 2 large spots above the pectoral fin). Dorsal fin VI-I, 20–25; anal-fin II-I, 20–24; vomerine tooth patch usually chevron shaped and palatine tooth patch relatively long ( Fig. 2B View TABLE 2 , Table 2 View TABLE 2 ). Selected mensural data for specimens ≥ 200 mm FL are given in Table 8 View TABLE 8 and selected measurements are plotted ( Figs. 6–8 View FIGURE 6 View FIGURE 7 View FIGURE 8 ).

Comparisons. Trachinotus baillonii is superficially similar to the allopatric T. macrospilus but has smaller spots on its side ( Fig. 6 View FIGURE 6 ) (usually smaller than iris diameter vs. larger than iris diameter, and in T. botla and T. coppingeri the largest spot equal to or larger than eye diameter), and the heights of the dorsal- and anal-fin lobes are usually longer ( Fig. 7 View FIGURE 7 ). Adults usually have no large spots above the pectoral fin, although 1 or 2 faint small spots are often present in smaller specimens of T. baillonii (vs. 1 or 2 large spots above the pectoral fin in T. botla and T. coppingeri ).

Size. Largest specimen examined 43 cm FL, 53 cm TL and about 0.9 kg.

Ecology. According to Kuiter and Tonozuka (2004:245), “juveniles of Trachinotus baillonii form schools in sheltered bays. Adults are usually seen in pairs or small groups in surface waters, patrolling reef edges or beaches.”

Distribution. ( Fig. 11 View FIGURE 11 ) Red Sea, East Africa, Seychelles, Madagascar and Mascarenes east to the northern Line and Gambier Islands, north to southern Japan and Korea, and south to Australia, Lord Howe, Norfolk Island, Tonga and Rapa.

Etymology. Named for the French botanist and zoologist Louis Antoine François Baillon (1778–1851).

Remarks. In his account of Trachinotus baillonii, Woods (1953:510) correctly noted that “ Wakiya’s (1924) attempt to separate the species T. quadripunctatus Rüppell , T. cuvieri Wakiya , and T. jordani Wakiya is based on nothing more than normal variation within this species, in view of (1) the variation in spots along the sides …; (2) the fact that the lobes of the dorsal, anal, and caudal fins increase in length with size, while the paired fins apparently do not increase in the same proportion; (3) the variation in nostril size in our series (the size of the posterior nostril varies in relation to that of the anterior, while one specimen with a much larger posterior nostril has the lower jaw slightly protruding).” Kendall and Goldsborough (1911) also discussed the confused application of names in the literature, and in their key to species recognized T. quadripunctatus and T. oblongus (the latter a misidentification of T. macrospilus , see Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 ) as valid species distinct from T. baillonii but failed to appreciate that absence or presence of spots changes with growth while spot size in adults is relatively consistent. One specimen from the Gulf of Oman ( BPBM 21446) is exceptional in having five spots on the left side and none on the right side.
