Taxonomic Remarks
Related species: Thalassoma sanctahelenae (St. Helena I,), and Thalassoma newtoni (West Central Atlantic) (Ref. 50607).
Ambiente: milieu / zona climatica / distribuzione batimetrica / gamma di distribuzione
Ecologia
marino associati a barriera corallina; distribuzione batimetrica 0 - 50 m (Ref. 86997). Tropical; 8°S - 10°S, 15°W - 14°W
Central Atlantic: Ascension I. (Ref. 98447).
Reports from other areas are doubtful: St. Helena (in Ref. 5292; see Ref. 119515); São Tomé Island: intermediate form with Thalassoma pavo (Ref. 34088). Ghana and other localities on the west African coasts (Ref. 86997). If reports would be confirmed, they are more likely the result of human transportation (Ref. 98447).
