Comparison of selected morphological measurements from the Indonesian specimen (MZB10003) with those of L. chalumnae reported by various workers

Morphological measurement	Pouyaud et al. (10) (Sulawesi; n = 1)	Forey (2) (Comores; n = 5)	McAllister and Smith (19) (Comores; n = 15)	Heemstra et al. (20) (Madagascar; n = 1)
Body length*	23%	24–26%	21–26%	—
Predorsal length (PD1/PD2)*	38%/60%	40%/63–65%	—
Body depth*	20%	27%	20–30%	—
Length caudal peduncle*	31%	26–28%	—	—
Length caudal fin*	16%	15%	—	—
Fin rays, 2nd dorsal fin	27	29–31	27–31	27
Fin rays, ventral caudal lobe	24	21–22	—	24
Fin rays, supplementary caudal lobe	30	—†	—	24

Only those measurements reported by Pouyaud et al. (10) as differing between the Indonesian fish and L. chalumnae are listed; all measurements are as defined in Forey (2). 

^*Measurement is given as proportion of standard length. 

^†Mistakenly reported by Pouyaud et al. as 25–26 (see text for details).
