Holocentrus ittodai Jordan & Fowler, 1903: 16, Fig. 4 (Okinawa,
Japan). Sargocentronittodai: Randall & Heemstra, 1985: 10*.
D XI/13-14; A IV,8-1O; P 14·16; LL43-47; oblique rows of cheek scales
5; GR (5-7)+(12-14). Body depth 2.8-3.1, head length 2.8-3.1 in SL.
Body with red and white stripes following the scale rows,
the red stripes slightly narrower than the white ones; inner
surface of P base with a black spot. Attains 17 cm (20 cm in
Japan). Red Sea and Indo-West Pacific from northern
Natal to Japan, Australia and the Marquesas Ids; rare in our
area.

Dwarf squirrelfish
Dwerg-soldaat
Sargocentron macrosquamis Golani, 1984: 40, Figs. 1 & 2 (D' Arros Id.,
Amirante Group, Seychelles); Randall & Heemstra, 1985: 11*.
D XI/13-14; A IV,9-1O; P 14-16; LL 40-45; cheek scales not in distinct
oblique rows; GR (5-7)+(10-13). Body depth 2.3-2.5, head length
2.45-2.7 in SL; 1 or 2 retrorse spines between nasal fossa and edge of premaxillary groove; 1 or 2 minute spines on edge of premaxillary groove;
scales on operc1e much larger than those on preoperc1e.
Life colour unknown. Maximum TL = 9 cm. Red Sea and
several localities in western Indian Ocean; probably occurs
in our area, but at present, the southernmost record is
Mozambique Id.
