metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The genus Scorpaenopsis has been intensively studied in recent decades. Sixteen
  species were known before the revision by Randall and Eschmeyer, who
  described 8 new species in 2002, and nowadays 29 species are known. Two
  specimens of Scorpaenopsis from the collection of the Zoological Institute of the
  Russian Academy of Sciences are intermediate in a number of parameters between
  Scorpaenopsis possi Randall et Eschmeyer 2002 and Scorpaenopsis eschmeyeri
  Randall et Greenfield 2004. The range of S. possi extends from the Indian
  Ocean coast of Africa and the Red Sea to the Marquesas Islands in the Pacific
  Ocean, the latitude of the range lies between the 30th latitudes of both hemispheres.
  The species S. eschmeyeri inhabits a much smaller range from the east
  coast of Australia to the island of Fiji. The aim of this work is to explain the appearance
  of S. possi, similar to S. eschmeyeri in some morphological diagnostic
  characters, almost 12,000 km apart from its range. The number of soft rays in
  the dorsal fin, which is unusual for the genus Scorpaenopsis, is described. Due
  to the lack of persistent distinguishing characters between S. possi and S. eschmeyeri,
  it is highly probable that both are conspecific; in that case S. eschmeyeri
  would be a junior synonym of S. possi.
