Haliotrematoides noncalcaris (Bychowsky & Nagibina, 1971) n. comb. (Figs. 30–35) Syns Haliotrema noncalcaris Bychowsky & Nagibina, 1971; Haliotrema tachypliformis Wang, Liu & Zhou, 2003.

Specimens studied: 4 paratypes, ZIAC 2809, 2811, 2812, 2813; 4 voucher specimens, USNPC 101335. Previous records: Lutjanus argentimaculatus (as Haliotrema noncalcaris ): off Hainan Island, South China Sea (Bychowsky & Nagibina 1971); Penang, Malaysia (Leong & Colorni 2002).
