Lutjanus ambiguus: Comments
Comment:
Treated as valid by Eschmeyer (online Catalog of Fishes, 2004), but he also notes that some consider it a hybrid. Status comments from Eschmeyer are as follows: "Valid as Lutjanus ambiguus (Poey 1860) -- (Allen 1985:54 [ref. 6843], Cervigón 1992:355 [ref. 23827]). Intergeneric hybrid between Ocyurus chrysurus (Bloch 1791) and Lutjanus synagrus (Linnaeus 1758) -- (Loftus 1992 [ref. 21221])"
