If there’s a genus we love more than or equal toLiopropoma在礁石建造者的这里，它一定是plectranthias. Unfortunately,plectranthias经过审查不佳，该属被许多未描述的成员带来，这会导致识别各种物种的困惑。更糟糕的是，某些未知物种看起来与已知物种相似，甚至是看起来与其他未知的物种相似的未知物种并不少见。这种混乱猖ramp，是头痛的重要原因。
plectranthiasis distributed aggressively in all major oceans in the Pacific, Indian as well as the Atlantic. The genus attains maximum development in the Pacific where a majority of the species are found. A large handful of known unknowns are documented and are awaiting description, but it is with certainty that even more remain to be discovered. Their highly cryptic and coy behaviour protects them from observation and capture. Many of them are also adept at living in deepwater, which makes documentation even more obscure.
仅在日本，至少可以找到四个或更多未描述的物种。其中有一个图片，也可以在日本以外找到，其中包括印度尼西亚和菲律宾的大型范围。它也可以在巴布亚新几内亚和帕劳（Palau）中找到，那里的300英尺低于300英尺。因为有很多没有名称的未描述的物种，因此很难为此分配一个通用名称，甚至很难分配一个临时数字。
这种特殊的未描述的物种是一个已知的未知物种，在日本经常拍摄。该物种的最佳特征是其锈色的象形文字网络，其中包括体内大小的斑点。背刺1-4在白色中显着着色，其余的则是清晰的。它体内的大斑模式是它独有的，而且只有一个其他物种**，对此也没有描述，有时会与之混淆。
该物种在贸易中很少见，但很少见到它的外观随机和出乎意料。它可以在印度尼西亚找到，路易斯·罗恰（Luiz Rocha）也报告在菲律宾也很普遍。该帖子标题的单个标本出现在泰国曼谷，并由Ohm Pavaphon拍摄。
请注意，在该标本中，体内的斑点非常大，与身体上的其他标记很明显。根据鱼的来源商店的说法，它被从伊里安·贾亚（Irian Jaya）出口，但正是我们不确定的地方。
**As mentioned before the former undescribed species shares the spot characteristic with one other member. The “Hinomaru”plectranthiasfrom Japan is also currently undescribed, and shared the same characteristic of having a large red circular blotch on its body. However this species is more consistent in its marking, and the circle is always roughly the same size in varying examples.
The name “Hinomaru” comes from the red circle in the Japanese flag, which gives this species its name. Unlike the former, the “Hinomaru”plectranthiaslacks the rust coloured markings, but instead, have a series of striae that are composed of gold scaling edged in orange. The dorsal spines are also entirely clear and are not marginally edged in white. The Bishop Museum drew similarities between both undescribed members, so it is with hope that they eventually get a name soon.
