Tang, Chi-Ngai & Matsunuma, Mizuki, 2022, Redescription of Chelidoperca barazeri, with a revised key and literature review to species of Chelidoperca in Taiwan (Perciformes: Serranidae), Zootaxa 5189 (1), pp. 204-221 : 218

Chelidoperca hirundinacea (Valenciennes, 1831) ( Figs. 7C‒D )

Chorististium lunulatum (not of Guichenot, 1863): Shen, 1984: 37

Chelidoperca hirundinacea: Lee, 1990: 68 ; Lee in Shen et al., 1993: 296, 687; Shen & Wu, 2011: 360; Shao et al., 2008: 247; Senou, 2013: 759; Koeda & Ho, 2019: 665, fig.; Matsunuma & Tashiro, 2020: 155.

Remarks. Shen (1984) reported Chorististium lunulatum (= Liopropoma lunulatum ) from Taiwan. However, the figure has clear diagnostic characters of C. hirundinacea and is thus re-identified as C. hirundinacea . This is one of two species that commonly collected from southwestern and northeastern Taiwan.
