Other Notes
This species has long been confused with Stegastes partitus, but is distinctly patterned and is only found off Brazil. Another species, Stegastes lubbocki, from Ascension Island is likely synonymous and differs mainly by having more yellow on the rear dorsal fin being retained into adulthood (versus the dorsal tail lobe in the Brazilian population).
