假人这是一个令人兴奋的鱼类，滴入了这么多令人难以置信的物种，并带有潜在的新发现，我们发现自己反复回到它。由于目前已知但定义较差，但仍为研究和进一步的研究带来了一个值得且有趣的主题。自从我们上一篇有关新文章以来假人cf.奥努力果从珊瑚海，我们一直在与乔·罗莱特（Joe RowlettMicrolabrichthys他一直在提出一些令人着迷的假设，我们希望将来能与您分享。
With the exclusion ofMicrolabrichthys，可以将属分为两个子属。他们是Franziaand假人。Franziais the smallest subgenus which houses some of the evergreen aquarium staples such as假人hutchii，，，，P. squamipinnis（包括其所有地理同行）和P. fasciatus。
今天的感兴趣主题旨在伪（Franzia）Fasciatus，，，，and it’s rarer lesser known sister,P. rubrolineatus。
P. fasciatus是一种麦芽橙物种，在水族馆贸易中很常见，来自印度太平洋。这种大型物种的特征是拥有沿其长度赤道的独特红色条纹。条纹是一条橙色带的延续，它始于眼睛后面，但一旦它通过胸鳍，它才会加强到特征性的红色中。该物种也存在脸颊条纹。
P. fasciatus是一种深水物种，最常见于150m（490英尺）的洞穴和壁架附近。它们通常是在松散的群体中发现的，习惯性地将通风孔定向朝着塔科姆栖息地的陡峭轮廓定向，通常也颠倒过来。少年和女性的红色条纹外观更为突出，而末期男性可能没有描述。在闪烁的男性中，乐队甚至根本不存在。
尽管最初是从新喀里多尼亚（New Caledonia）知道的，但带有表面相似之处的第二种具有表面相似之处的物种。这是伪rubrolineatus，除了P. fasciatus，对于任何其他物种，都不会混淆。
Meristics aside,P. rubrolineatuscan be differentiated fromP. fasciatus通过具有不同的条纹图案。在P. rubrolineatus，红色条纹刚刚起源于胸鳍底座上方，在尾部的尾部上部延伸并终止。在这两个物种中，红色条纹在两个边缘都均均为白色，但是条纹的厚度和厚度使两者相当容易地将两者隔开。
P. rubrolineatusis also unique in possessing filaments on both its caudal fin lobes. The number of filamentous extensions on each lobe can vary, but usually numbering three to five. To the best of our knowledge, this is the only species in the genus假人to possess this unique tail morphology. These “fairy or thread tail” filaments are rarely seen in other Anthiinae species, but are most prevalent in托萨纳，，，，田虫至少一种Odontanthias。
LikeP. fasciatus，，，，P. rubrolineatus也是深水，可以在超过200英尺的深度找到。至少在日本，这两个物种是同胞的，并与Sacura Margaritaceaand occasionally other假人species likeP. flavoguttatusandP. elongatus。
Like its sister,P. fasciatusloses the prominence of its stripe as it transits into its terminal phase. In large specimens, the stripe is usually incomplete and serves as a vestigial remnant of the former, sitting closer to the distal end of the fish. Terminal males in full display may not even show the slightest hint of this namesake characteristic.
很遗憾，P. rubrolineatusis rare and very expensive in the trade. Only a handful of specimens have been offered for sale in Japan, and each costing a few grand. However seeing as this fish is so similar toP. fasciatus这仅占价格的一小部分，它并不是那么令人心碎的人。
It’s still nice to know that a parallel upper class version of our aquarium favourite lurks in the deep waters of Japan and New Caledonia. Where it probably sips champaign and fly private planes, occasionally stopping by to say hello.
