Type catalog: Hardy 1990:11 [ref. 18942]. Phillipps 1927:41 [ref. 19746] suggested that the name be spelled sandageri, the spelling of the collector; Russell 2011:67 [ref. 31566] pointed out that both spellings were in current usage, and there was no evidence of an inadvertent error (Art. 32), so the correct original spelling is sandeyeri. •Valid as Coris sandageri (Hector 1884) -- (Paulin et al. 1989:208 [ref. 24556], Kuiter 1993:300 [ref. 23929], Francis 1993:165 [ref. 25479], Kuiter 1997:298 [ref. 25488], Parenti & Randall 2000:16 [ref. 24943], Duffy & Ahyong 2015:116 [ref. 36167]). •Valid as Coris sandeyeri (Hector 1884) -- (Randall 1999:63 [ref. 24043], Allen et al. 2006:1386 [ref. 29095], Fricke & Kulbicki 2006:342 [ref. 28867], Russell 2011:67 [ref. 31566], Kuiter 2010:318 [ref. 35285], Fricke & Durville 2021:35 [ref. 38902]).
