The morphology of BISH 763271 differs from H. cuneata Hering where Kojima et al. (2015) relegated previously identified specimens of H. tuna in Japanese waters. Molecular analysis of more Pacific “ H. tuna ” should be undertaken to resolve this situation; Pacific “ H. tuna ” may be a cryptic new species.</p> <p>Specimens examined. ARAKANE REEF.
