Etymology: Bodianus:Bodianus after Bodiano or Pudiano, from the Portuguese pudor, meaning modesty (Jordan & Evermann, 1896); diana:Named for Diana, the goddess of the chase and the moon, an allusion to the beautiful coloration and form of the species (Ref. 75973). Eponymy: Diana, the Roman goddess of the chase and the moon; an allusion to the beautiful coloration and form of the species. (Ref. 128868), visit book page. More on author: Lacepède.
Indian Ocean: East Africa (questionable in the Gulf of Aden and Somalia), east to the Nicobar Islands and Cocos-Keeling Islands (Ref. 75973). Replaced by Bodianus dictynna in the tropical Western Pacific and the longer snouted Bodianus prognathus in the Line Islands (Ref. 37816).
