Jaydia smithi Kotthaus, 1970

(Fig. 8)

Material examined. SMF 35010 (5: 6.3–7.7 cm); SMF 35013 (2: 8.0– 8.2 cm); KAUMM 61 (4: 6.1–7.0 cm); KAUMM 62 (2: 6.5–8.1 cm); KAUMM 64 (1: 7.3 cm).

Remarks. Gon & Randall (2003) reviewed the cardinalfishes of the Red Sea and examined 14 specimens of Jaydia smithi, however, they did not show the color pattern of the species when freshly collected. Here we present a photo of a fresh specimen that agrees well with the description of specimens given in Gon & Randall (2003) for comparison with the two other Red Sea species of the genus, J. novaeguineae and J. queketti .
