Kuhlia xenura

==Taxonomy==
The strange-tailed flagtail was previously confused with the Hawaiian flagtail until 2001. It was first described as ''Xenichthys xenurus'' on the basis of a specimen mistakenly thought to have come from San Salvador, El Salvador.〔Jordan, D. S. and C. H. Gilbert 1882. Description of a new species of Xenichthys (Xenichthys xenurus) from the west coast of Central America. Proceedings of the United States National Museum v. 4 (no. 252): 454.〕 For over a century, the name ''Xenichthys xenurus'' was overlooked in the literature and ''K. xenura'' was confused with ''K. sandvicensis'' by many authors.〔Gosline, W.A. and V.E. Brock, 1960. Handbook of Hawaiian fishes. University of Hawaii Press, Honolulu. 372 p. + 277 figs.〕〔Randall, J.E., 1985. Guide to Hawaiian reef fishes. Harrowood Books, Newtown Square, PA 19073, USA. 74 p.〕〔Randall, J.E., 1996. Shore fishes of Hawai'i. Natural World Press, Vida, Oregon. 216 p.〕
In 2001, the ichthyologist John Ernest Randall and his wife Helen Randall reviewed all nominal flagtail species from the Pacific Ocean. They found out that two species had been lumped together under ''Kuhlia sandvicensis'', one of which had been misidentified as the freshwater ''K. marginata'' by some authors (the true ''K. sandvicensis''). They found out that specimens of the common flagtail species from the Hawaiian Islands misidentified as ''K. sandvicensis'' matched the description of ''Xenichthys xenurus'' and thus ''Kuhlia xenura'' became the correct name for one of the two flagtail species from Hawaii.〔Randall, J.E. and H.A. Randall, 2001. Review of the fishes of the genus Kuhlia (Perciformes: Kuhliidae) of the Central Pacific. Pac. Sci. 55(3):227-256.〕
