Satyrichthys kikingeri Pogoreutz, Vitecek & Ahnelt, 2013 was described as a new species based on a single dried specimen from the Maldives, Indian Ocean. Although this species was considered to differ from the most similar species of the genus, S. laticeps (Schlegel, 1852), by numbers of barbels and anal fin rays, and several morphometric characters, it is clear that both species are inseparable as these characters were misinterpreted in the holotype in the original description of S. kikingeri. Therefore, S. kikingeri is a junior synonym of S. laticeps.
基氏裸颊鲷（Satyrichthys kikingeri）由波戈雷乌茨、维泰克和阿内尔特于2013年描述为一个新物种，其依据是来自印度洋马尔代夫的一个单一干燥标本。尽管该物种被认为在触须数量、臀鳍鳍条数量以及几个形态测量特征方面与该属最相似的物种——宽头裸颊鲷（S. laticeps，施莱格尔，1852年）不同，但很明显这两个物种是分不开的，因为在基氏裸颊鲷的原始描述中，这些特征在正模标本中被错误解读了。因此，基氏裸颊鲷是宽头裸颊鲷的次异名。
