Status of two species of tilefish, Caulolatilus princeps (jenyns) and C. hubbsi dooley, originally described from the Galapagos Islands

We re-examine the characters and character states used to differentiate Caulolatilus hubbsi from C. princeps and find that they are continuously variable, subjective, arbitrary and non-informative. We conclude that C. hubbsi is a junior synonym of C. princeps.
