Scrawled Butterflyfish Chaetodon Meyeri. It Is Found In Theâ Indian Oceanâ Andâ Pacific Oceanâ From East Africa To The Line Islands; North To The Ryukyu Islands; South To The Great Barrier Reef; Including Micronesia And The Galapagos Islands. It Is A Close Relative Of Theâ Mailed Butterflyfishâ C. Reticulatus And Theâ Ornate Butterflyfishâ C. Ornatissimus. Together They Make Up Theâ Subgenusâ Calledâ `Citharoedus`, But As This Name Had Already Been Used For Aâ Molluscâ Genus When It Was Given To The Fish, It Is Not Valid. They Are Probably Quite Close To The Subgenusâ Corallochaetodonâ Which Contains For Example Theâ Melon Butterflyfishâ C. Trifasciatus. Like These, They Might Be Separated Inâ Megaprotodonâ If Theâ Genusâ Chaetodonâ Is Split Up.
