Distribution
Description
An oblique dusky bar on the cheek and white pelvic fins (on adults) help distinguish this species from similar members of the genus, in addition to its Indian Ocean and Red Sea distribution. A. leucogaster overlaps in distribution in the eastern Indian Ocean and western Indonesia, but has a much more distinct black spot at the base of the pectoral fin, and typically yellow pelvic fins on adults.
