| Citation | Day, 1878 (Ref. 1481) included most of the species of Canthigaster with black blue-edged ocellus on both side of dorsal fin base and horizontal blue lines around eye under one name, C. margaritata. Munro, 1955 (Ref. 1550) also reported only one species, C. margaritata, from Sri Lanka with T. ocellatus as its synonym. However, the specimens of both Day (1878) and Munro (1955) have 9 or 10 dorsal fin rays indicating it is not C. margaritata, which has 8 dorsal fin rays. |
