Abudefduf caudobimaculatus
Abudefduf caudobimaculatus, commonly known as the Okinawa sergeant,[1] is a species of damselfish in the family Pomacentridae. It is native to the Indo-Pacific, where it is believed to range from East Africa to Yakushima and Lord Howe Island, including Taiwan (where it occurs alongside its congeners Abudefduf nigrimargo and A. vaigiensis)[2] and Indonesia.[3] Although initially described in 1939, it was subsequently considered synonymous with Abudefduf vaigiensis, until a 2017 review conducted by Kunto Wibowo of the Indonesian Institute of Sciences, Hiroyuki Motomura of the Kagoshima University Museum, and Minoru Toda redescribed it as a valid and distinct species.[4] Despite this, it is still listed by FishBase and WoRMS as a synonym of A. vaigiensis.[5][6]
