longfins (Plesiopidae)

2 Mariana Islands species out of 3 reported


Note: While Calloplesiops altivelis has been reported from the Mariana Islands, the individual above was photographed in the Philippines. I have not yet observed this species in the waters around Guam or elsewhere in the Mariana Islands.
