Abstract

The nominal species, Thysanichthys evides Jordan and Thompson, 1914 (Scorpaenidae), originally described from Misaki, Japan, has not been reported since its original description. Examination of the type specimens of T.evides showed them to be identical with the holotype and non-type specimens of a species previously widely-regarded as Scorpaenodes littoralis (Tanaka, 1917), originally described as Sebastella littoralis, also from Misaki. Thysanichthys evides is herein regarded as a senior synonym of Sebastella littoralis, and is a valid species of Scorpaenodes.
