Introduction
Previously identified as B. diana a wide ranging Indo-west Pacific species. Gomon (2006) described the western Pacific form as Bodianus dictynna, with B. diana now restricted to the Indian Ocean. Current distribution of both species on the northwest coast of Australia is unclear since available records are visual observations of young individuals made prior to the distinction of the two species (Gomon, 2006). Hobbs et al (2014) recorded the species from Christmas Island, but not B. diana. Allen & Erdmann (2012) listed only B. diana from Christmas Island.
