Etymology:

Bodianus
after
Bodiano
or
Pudiano
, from the Portuguese
pudor
, meaning modesty (Jordan & Evermann, 1896).
;

Name from the feminine Latin noun

inus
meaning pertaining to; perhaps in reference to the elongate fox-like snout in this species (Ref.

)
.

Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecology
Marine; reef-associated; depth range 100 - 250 m (Ref.
75973
). Subtropical
Eastern Indian Ocean: endemic to Western Australia. Reported from New Zealand in a number of references (Ref.
5755
,
27073
) but following Kuiter 1993 (Ref.
9002
) these would be misidentifications of
Bodianus unimaculatus
. Report of occurrence from Hawaii, Ryukyu and Easter islands (Ref.
28618
) need to be verified.
