Microcanthus

Microcanthus is a genus of stripeys with an antitropical distribution in the Pacific Ocean.

Taxonomy

Stripeys were thought to constitute a single species, M. strigatus, but a paper published in 2020 recognizes two valid species:

• Microcanthus strigatus <small>(Cuvier, 1831)</small> (northern stripey)
• Microcanthus joyceae <small>Whitley, 1931</small> (East Australian stripey)
