The inclusion of the Red Sea in the distribution map of this species by Allen (1984) is based on a misidentification, probably of Paracaesio sordidus Abe & Shinohara, 1962 ( Goren & Dor, 1994). Later he acknowledged this mistake stating that this species is restricted to the western shores of Africa (Allen, 1985).
