Bodianus darwini

Classification

Family
Labridae

Bodianus darwini is a species of ray-finned fish native to the tropical eastern Pacific Ocean. Common names include the Chilean sheepshead wrasse, the goldspot sheepshead or the Galapagos sheepshead wrasse. Taxonomy Traditionally it was placed in the genus Semicossyphus, until molecular phylogenetics found that Semicossyphus should be lumped into Bodianus, as Semicossyphus was nested deep within Bodianus.
