Paracheilinus alfiani, P. paineorum and P. xanthocirritus are three new species joining the ranks of flasher wrasses. The description of these three newParacheilinus是对整个属的大规模审查的一部分，它列出了近年来娱乐潜水员记录的一些松散形式的闪光灯。
Before we dive into all the different species, we want to emphasize that these new description are part of a very thorough publication which is a “Review of the Indo-Pacific Flasher Wrasses of the genus Paracheilinus” by Allen, Erdmann and Yusmalinda in the Journal of the Ocean Science Foundation. This free download gives an in depth look at all 20 species ofParacheilinus从东非和红海，到印度太平洋，再到斐济和马歇尔群岛。如果您完全喜欢Flasher Wrasses，那么这本79页的评论本质上是这条标志性的礁鱼组的免费小册子。
Paracheilinus alfianiis perhaps the most striking of the three new species of flasher wrasse. This striking flasher wrasse from the Lesser Sunda Islands has tall rounded fins and is one of just four species without any filaments emanating from its margin.
The rounded tail and fins ofParacheilinus alfianigives it a distinctive bullet shaped outline and it is nearly identical in shape to the relatively newParacheilinusrennyae。BothP. alfianifrom Alor andP. rennyae来自弗洛雷斯（Flores）仅几百英里的分离，但调查只在非常有限的地区出现了这些物种，但介于两者之间。尽管有不同的男性着色，但很明显，这两个物种非常相关，未来的工作可能会在未来的这两条鱼中代名词。
The second new species in this review of flasher wrasses isParacheilinus paineorumfrom Manado Sulawesi, and throughout central Indonesia. This new species of flasher wrasse has been erected to contain what was previously discovered to be one of the cryptic species within the Filamented flasher wrasse species complex,Paracheilinusfilamentosus。现在，“真正的”灯丝的wrasse仅限于巴布亚新几内亚和所罗门群岛，被取代manbext客户端p，paineorum在其范围的西南部。
第三个新的闪光灯wrasse物种，Paracheilinus xanthocirritus，以前也是丝状P. filmentosus综合体。它在印度尼西亚最西北，婆罗洲的北部和西部以及几乎是新加坡。喜欢P. Paineorumthe newParacheilinus xanthocirritushas the same highly lunate caudal fin and copiously filamented fins but it is distinguished primarily on the coloration of the male’s dorsal fin which is primarily yellow.
