  Comment  
Allen (1991, Ref. 7247) recognized Stegastes dorsopunicans as a senior synonym of S. adustus because he incorrectly considered the year of Poey's original description to be 1863 instead of 1868 (Ref. 35505).
  Etymology of generic noun  
Greek, stegastos, -e, -on = covered (Ref. 45335).
