| Abstract | The closely related Indo-Pacific kyphosid fishes, Kyphosus cinerascens (Forsskål, 1775) and K. sydneyanus (Günther, 1886), are taxonomically reviewed and redescribed. The two species differed from other Kyphosus in having 12 dorsal fin and 11 anal fin soft rays and 50–58 scales in a longitudinal row along the midbody. Synonymic reviews and redescriptions of K. cinerascens and K. sydneyanus were based on examination of types and many non-type specimens, including consideration of ontogenetic morphological changes. The anterior part of the soft-rayed portions of the dorsal fin and anal fin become elevated with growth in K. cinerascens, the longest dorsal fin soft ray being clearly longer than the longest dorsal fin spine, in addition to 26–31 (mode 28) gill rakers on the first gill arch and 17–19 (mode 18) pectoral fin rays. Such elevation is absent in K. sydneyanus, in which the longest dorsal fin soft ray is clearly shorter than the longest dorsal fin spine, in addition to 19–21 (mode 21) gill rakers on the first gill arch and 16–18 (mode 17) pectoral fin rays. Cantharus maculates Valenciennes, 1830, Pimelepterus indicus Cuvier, 1831, Pim. altipinnis Cuvier, 1831, Pim. dussumieri Cuvier, 1831, Pim. raynaldi Cuvier, 1831, Pim. altipinnoides Guichenot, 1863, Pachymetopon squamosum Alleyne and Macleay, 1877, and Scorpis vinosa Alleyne and Macleay, 1877 are all recognized as junior synonyms of K. cinerascens. Pimelepterus tahmel (Forsskål, 1775) sensu Rüppell (1835) is applicable to K. cinerascens but is not a valid scientific name for the species. Pimelepterus meridionalis Ogilby, 1887 and Segutium klunzingeri Whitley, 1931 are junior synonyms of K. sydneyanus. A neotype of K. cinerascens is designated here. Kyphosus cinerascens is widely distributed in the Indo-Pacific region, except for the southern coast of Australia, whereas K. sydneyanus is distributed only in the southern half of Australia (between Shark Bay in Western Australia and Moreton Bay in Queensland), including northern Tasmania, Lord Howe and Norfolk Islands, and in northern New Zealand. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
