Description The lavender jobfish, Pristipomoides sieboldii (Bleeker, 1855) was recently recorded from the southeastern Arabian Sea, based on a single specimen collected from trawl net fishery off Kollam, Southwest coast of India, representing a rare occurrence. The specimen was identified based on morphometric and meristic characters. The presence of a diamond-shaped tooth patch on the vomer with medial posterior extension, a heart-shaped villiform tooth patch on the tongue and scales on the cleithrum are the key identification characters of this species. The distinguishing meristic characters include pored lateral line scale count of 73 and gill raker count on lower limb of the first arch (including rudiments) of 20. The present report provides complete taxonomic description of the specimen from Indian waters for the first time and also contributes towards a better understanding of the regional diversity of snappers along the Southwest coast of India.
