Although previously classified in the genus Pseudanthias Bleeker, 1871, the holotype of Anthias xanthomaculatus Fourmanoir & Rivaton, 1979 from New Caledonia was recently shown to be a juvenile specimen of the genus Odontanthias Bleeker, 1873, and possibly conspecific with Odontanthias grahami Randall & Heemstra, 2006 from eastern Australia. Meaningful comparison with the latter species was problematic as it was known only from four adult specimens. Recent collection of a size series of six specimens from the Lord Howe Rise confirms that the two nominal species are conspecific. Odontanthias grahami is therefore placed in the synonymy of A. xanthomaculatus.
虽然之前被归类于1871年的拟花鮨属（Pseudanthias Bleeker），但1979年采自新喀里多尼亚的黄斑拟花鮨（Anthias xanthomaculatus Fourmanoir & Rivaton）的正模标本最近被证明是1873年的齿花鮨属（Odontanthias Bleeker）的幼体标本，并且可能与2006年采自澳大利亚东部的格拉汉姆齿花鮨（Odontanthias grahami Randall & Heemstra）同种。由于格拉汉姆齿花鮨仅知有四个成年标本，因此与该物种进行有意义的比较存在问题。最近从豪勋爵海隆采集到一系列六个不同大小的标本，证实这两个名义上的物种是同种的。因此，格拉汉姆齿花鮨被置于黄斑拟花鮨的异名之下。
