Abstract: Sebastapistes mauritiana (Cuvier, 1829) (Fig. 5) Remarks: The species is newly recorded from Taiwanese waters based on a specimen in the current study. The counts of dorsal, pectoral, and anal fins are provided in table 3. This species differs from congeners of Sebastapistes by having a strong coronal ridge with a spine (Fig. 4b). Motomura et al. (2014) have synonymized Scorpaena hatizyoensis with S. mauritiana. There is one specimen of S. hatizyoensis (NTMP0678) collected from Taiwan in 1945 which is supposed to be S. mauritiana. However, we re-identified this specimen as a misidentification of Scorpaena neglecta according to the image of NTMP0678 in the National Taiwan Museum digital archive information system, with a large body size of 370 mm in total length.
