Bodianus vulpinus was reported from 6 countries/islands


Table 1: the species is currently present in 1 of them (endemic, native, introduced);
Table 2: possible in 5 of them (stray, questionable);
Table 3: absent from 0 of them (extirpated, not established, misidentification, error).
Table 4: all reports listed together.

Distribution: 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.
