| Named Used as Valid | Scorpaenopsis gilchristi |
| Comment | |
| Locality | South Africa |
| Distribution | South Africa confirmed and questionable for New Caledonia. |
| Quote | Because S. gilchristi is known only from two specimens (Randall and Eschmeyer, 2002) and those from New Caledonia number only three (all in poor condition), additional specimens from both regions are required to assess the taxonomic status of the New Caledonian material. |
