Chlorophthalmus corniger is redescribed on the basis of recently collected specimens. The species is
redefined as a species of Chlorophthalmus with the lower jaw terminating in a distinctly projecting
horizontal plate with strong, spine-like processes directed forward from the plate’s corners; body
silvery grey, with numerous minute black spots and traces of broad darker crossbars; base of
anterior dorsal fin spines and distal parts of dorsal fins black; adipose fin tiny with numerous
black spots; caudal fin black; 3·5 scales above lateral line; three rows of cheek scales; head very
large, 34·3–40·1% standard length (LS); eye large, 29·8–40·8% head length (LH); pectoral fin long,
extending to beyond dorsal fin base, 21·7–26·2% LS. Chlorophthalmus bicornis is a junior synonym
of C. corniger based on the examination of the type series of both species. It is confined to the
northern half of the Indian Ocean, reliably recorded from Somalia and the Gulf of Aden to southern
Java, Indonesia, at depths between 200 and 500 m. A lectotype and three paralectotypes were
designated for C. corniger. DNA barcodes for Indian species of Chlorophthalmus were generated.
