Redescription and phylogenetic placement of Cirrhilabrus sanguineus Cornic (Teleostei: Labridae), with first documentation of the female form 

Abstract: The labrid fish Cirrhilabrus sanguineus Cornic is redescribed on the basis of the neotype, two male specimens, and an additional female specimen recently collected from the northern coast of Mauritius. We provide new live and nuptial colouration descriptions, as well as the first documented female specimen for the species. we also include a molecular phylogenetic analysis of related species, with brief comments on phylogenetic interpretation of putative relationships amongst members of the genus Cirrhilabrus.

“…It is notable that P. purpuralepis has some scales associated with the whitish pink stripes or blotches on the dorsum in fresh condition that turned purple when preserved in formalin and ethanol (Figs 2, 6A). Tea et al (2018Tea et al ( , 2019 reported that some labrids, Cirrhilabrus wakanda Tea et al, 2019, Cirrhilabrus blatteus Springer & Randall, 1974, and Cirrhilabrus earlei Randall & Pyle, 2001, have purple scales after preservation. However, their scales are purple in color when alive originally and the color is retained after preservation.…”

“…Some species of labrids, for example, are readily separated on the basis of coloration and morphological characters, but are otherwise indistinguishable with standard mitochondrial markers such as COI (Allen, Erdmann, & Dailami, ; Ramon, Lobel, & Sorenson, ; Tea, Senou, & Greene, ). Even amongst allopatric, morphologically distinct members of the same complex, genetic divergence in COI can be as low as 1.5% (Tea, Frable, & Van Der Wal, ). In these cases, the species can be referred to as “phenovariant” (Victor, ).…”

“…The phenomenon was first noted by Springer & Randall (1974) in C. blatteus, and later again by Randall (1995) in C. rubrisquamis sensu lato and C. sanguineus. Randall (1999) also made note of bone purpling in the opercle of the lesser known Pseudocheilinus dispilus Randall ,1999, and in fin rays and spines of some (but not all) individuals of P. ocellatus Randall, 1999. Tea et al (2018, 2019 reported purple craniofacial bones and scales for C. earlei (Fig.…”

“…Although a comprehensive taxonomic treatment of the genus is lacking, systematic studies have been done in parts. These include diagnoses of species complexes (see Tea et al 2016;Walsh et al 2017;Tea & Gill 2017;Tea et al 2018;Tea et al 2020), taxonomic revisions (Victor 2016;Tea et al 2021a), and molecular phylogenomic studies (Tea et al 2021b). The need for a generic revision of Cirrhilabrus is made clear by the rapidly growing body of literature in recent years, with the number of valid species now exceeding that of any other labrid genus.…”
