Salmoneus serratidigitus
(Coutière, 1896)
: non-ovigerous specimen (cl 4.8 mm) from Tanjung Aan, Lombok, Indonesia (OUMNH.ZC. 2014-10-20), A—dorsal view; B—lateral view.
Material examined
.
Indonesia
. 1 non-ov. specimen (
MZB
Cru 4056), southern Lombok, Tanjung Aan (east of Kuta), degraded coral reef flat with some seagrass and abundant rubble, under large pieces of coral rubble,
0.5–1 m
, leg. D.L. Rahayu

[LB-St7-09C]; 1 non-ov. specimen (
OUMNH

), same collection data [LB-St7-09B]; 1 ov. specimen (
RMNH
.
CRUS
.D.56751), same collection data [LB-St7-09A].
Taxonomic account
. See
Coutière (1896)
and
Banner & Banner (1981)
; see also
Miya (1984)
for additional illustrations.
Habitat
. Coral reefs and near-shore reef flats, with abundant loose rubble and large coral rocks, sometimes near seagrass beds; typically under coral rocks or in crevices of coral rubble. Depth range: intertidal to at least
10 m
.
Distribution
. Indo-West Pacific: from the Red Sea and
Madagascar
to
Japan
,
Indonesia
,
Australia
and
French Polynesia
(
Banner & Banner 1981
,
1982
).
Remarks
.
Salmoneus serratidigitus
needs a thorough taxonomic revision, with a reappraisal of the status of
S. sibogae
(
De
Man
, 1910
)
, treated valid until
Banner & Banner (1981)
synonymised it with
S. serratidigitus
. In life,
S. serratidigitus
can be recognised by its uniform yolk-yellow colour (
Fig. 20
), which was also observed by
Coutière (1896
,
1899
) at the
type
locality of the species in
Djibouti
.
Salmoneus serratidigitus
was previously reported from central
Indonesia
by
Banner & Banner (1985)
.
