Etymology: Xanthichthys: Greek, xanthos = yellow + Greek, ichthys = fish (Ref. 45335); greenei: Named for Brian D. Greene, member of the team that discovered this species.
Eponymy: Brian David Greene (d: 1980) is an ichthyologist associated with the Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum and the University of Hawaii where he studied for his zoology BSc (2001) and where he currently studies for his PhD. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Descrição suscinta
Chaves de identificação | Morfologia | Morfometria
Espinhos dorsais (total) : 3; Raios dorsais (total) : 29; Raios anais : 25; Vértebras: 18. This species is distinguished by the following characters: 3 pigmented cheek grooves; low body scale rows count 34 (33-35) vs. 39 or more; small size, 15.4 cm SL vs. over 22.5 cm SL; and a colour pattern of scattered dark spots sub-dorsally and without other spots or line on the body.
Body shape (shape guide): short and / or deep.
This species is relatively abundant within its depth range, on coral rubble and holes adjacent to deeper drop-offs (below a thermocline) at several localities of the coasts of Kiritimati (Christmas Island). It has always been observed near the reef substratum, where it would seek shelter when approached (Ref. 94129).
