Etymology: Meiacanthus: Greek, meion = less = lessen + Greek, akantha = thorn (Ref. 45335); flavivittatus: Name 'flavivittatus' from the Latin word meaning 'yellow-striped', in reference to the yellow marking of the new species.

Short description Identification keys | Morphology | Morphometrics
Dorsal spines (total): 4; Dorsal soft rays (total): 27 - 28; Anal spines: 2; Anal soft rays: 16; Vertebrae: 33 - 35. This species is distinguished from its congeners by the following set of characters: dorsal-fin rays IV,27-28; anal-fin rays II,16; pectoral-fin rays 14-15; outer caudal rays of adult male elongated, approximately 37-49 % SL (from underwater photos); inner caudal rays of both sexes relatively short and scarcely exerted beyond margin of interradial membranes, 16.0-21.7% SL; pelvic fin length unknown in male and 12.0-15.5% SL in female; colour pattern consisting of three narrow dark stripes on head and body with much wider pale interspaces, uppermost interspace mainly bright yellow in life; middle dark stripe expanded at terminus on caudal-fin base; fins plain translucent without markings except dorsal fin with narrow dark, basal stripe and narrow dark, submarginal stripe; and maximum size generally under 40 mm SL (Ref. 138626).
Body shape (shape guide): elongated; Cross section: oval.

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804) |
PD50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. |
| Bayesian length-weight | a=0.00575 (0.00258 - 0.01285), b=3.06 (2.86 - 3.26), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref. 93245). |
|
Trophic level (Ref. 69278) |
3.2 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives |
|
Resilience (Ref. 120179) |
High, minimum population doubling time less than 15 months (Preliminary K or Fecundity.). |
