Grammatonotus laysanus was first formally described in 1905 by the American ichthyologist Charles Henry Gilbert with its type locality given as off Laysan in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, [1] When Gilbert described this species he classified it in a new monospecific genus, Grammatonotus , and designating G. laysanus as the type species of the genus. [2] The 5th edition of Fishes of the World classifies Grammatonotus as one of two genera in the family Callanthiidae, which it places in the order Spariformes. [3]
Grammatonotus laysanus has a violet red body, silvery on its lower flanks, a yellow dorsal fin, purple anal fin, a purplish red caudal fin with yellow outer rays, light orange pectoral fins and purple-red pelvic fins.
