neoguinaicus, Anampses Bleeker [P.] 1877:3 [Processen-verbaal van de gewone vergaderingen der Koninklijke Akademie van Wetenschappen; Afdeeling Natuurkunde 1877-1878 (no. 4); ref. 17115] New Guinea. Lectotype: ZMH H405. Non-types: ZMH H406 (1). Type catalog: Wilkens & Dohse 1993:407 [ref. 21161] as syntypes. Described in more detail in Bleeker 1878:57 [ref. 456] Pl. 3 (fig. 4). Type catalog and lectotype selected by Ladiges et al. 1958:164 [ref. 19181], but the description was apparently made from 1 specimen so lectotype designation is unwarranted; that H405 is the holotype was not researched by us. •Valid as Anampses neoguinaicus Bleeker 1877 (often seen as 1878) -- (Araga in Masuda et al. 1984:204 [ref. 6441], Randall et al. 1990:297 [ref. 15987], Kuiter 1993:291 [ref. 23929], Francis 1993:164 [ref. 25479], Allen 1997:184 [ref. 23977], Kuiter 1997:294 [ref. 25488], Randall et al. 1997:297 [ref. 25919], Myers 1999:196 [ref. 23965], Parenti & Randall 2000:4 [ref. 24943], Westneat in Randall & Lim 2000:627 [ref. 25122], Nakabo 2000:977 [ref. 25182], Laboute & Grandperrin 2000:349 [ref. 25191], Hutchins 2001:268 [ref. 25841], Hutchins 2001:38 [ref. 25847], Westneat 2001:3406 [ref. 26277], Nakabo 2002:977 [ref. 26193], Allen & Adrim 2003:47 [ref. 26830], Randall et al. 2004:21 [ref. 27624], Randall 2005:391 [ref. 28239], Allen et al. 2006:1372 [ref. 29095], Motomura et al. 2010:160 [ref. 31256], Kuiter 2010:347 [ref. 35285], Allen & Erdmann 2012:634 [ref. 31980], Fricke et al. 2014:126 [ref. 33932], Fricke et al. 2019:223 [ref. 36673], Abe et al. 2024:7 [ref. 41435], Allen & Erdmann 2024:689 [ref. 40796]).
