Introduction
The species was considered a synonym of Chaetodon trifaciatus, but Kuiter (1995) separated C. lunulatus, restricting C. trifasciatus to the Indian Ocean. Both species occur together in Indonesia (Randall 2005) and at Christmas Island (Hobbs et al. 2010). Chaetodon trifasciatus is known from Cocos (Keeling) Islands and Christmas Island.
