Remarks.
Gon & Randall (2003)
reviewed the cardinalfishes of the Red Sea and examined
14 specimens
of
Jaydia smithi
, however, they did not show the color pattern of the species when freshly collected. Here we present a photo of a fresh specimen that agrees well with the description of specimens given in
Gon & Randall (2003)
for comparison with the two other Red Sea species of the genus,
J. novaeguineae
and
J. queketti
.
