| Old Text: | Differs from the almost identical Chaetodon xanthurus in having an angular chevron shaped spot immediately behind the head above the eye stripe (in Chaetodon xanthurus this is mor rounded and oval). Additionally, the eye stripe is incomplete, and does not reach the top of the head, distinguishing it from Chaetodon mertensii. Its geographical location also separates it from the other 'Pearlscale Butterflies', as its range does not overlap with the other species, so if the collection point is known, this provides confirmation of identity. Note correct taxonomic name (according to Fishbase) - the spelling of 'madagaskariensis' with a 'k' reflects the German origin of the describer, and the fish was first described in a German publication.
