Issue
This species appears to be restricted to southeast Africa to the Arabian Sea, including the Red Sea and Persian Gulf. Junior synonyms Plectorhinchus unicolor (Macleay, 1883) and Plectorhinchus griseus (Cuvier, 1830) are considered valid according to Johnson et al., 2015 (Ref. 103290). Species record and information will be repaired accordingly.
