FBname: Mystery grouper
Comments: This species is known only from the holotype which was collected during the circum-global voyage of the corvettes `L'Astrolabe' and 'La Zélée' which were attempting to find the South Pole.  The authors noted that the provenance of this specimen was unknown.  Since most of the fishes reported from the voyage were from the Indo-Pacific region, it seems likely that this species was also collected in the Indo-Pacific region.  Habitat and biology is unknown.
