Sphyraena qenie Klunzinger 1870 and Sphyraena putnamae Jordan and Seale 1905 (Sphyraenidae) are similar to each other in sharing elongated last rays of the second dorsal and anal fins, an entirely blackish caudal fin, and lacking spines on the first gill-arch platelets. Sphyraena qenie, previously considered distinguishable from S. putnamae in having a pair of small lobes on the caudal-fin central margin (vs. lobes absent in S. putnamae) and 18–22 dark lateral bands on the body (vs. about 15 bands), is further characterized by several newly recognized diagnostic features, including number of scale rows between the eye and preopercular margin, and several morphometrics, viz., upper-jaw, pre-dorsal fin, pre-pelvic fin, anterior second dorsal- and anal-fin ray, and caudal-peduncle lengths. A key to the Indo-Pacific species of Sphyraena lacking gill rakers is provided, and Japanese records of S. qenie reviewed, including a new specimen from Satsuma Peninsula, Kagoshima Prefecture, Kyushu, which represents the northernmost record for the species and first record from the Japanese mainland.

Sphyraena qenie 与 S. putnamae 的形态学比较，修正了缺乏鳃耙的 Sphyraena 物种的关键（Sphyraenidae）

Sphyraena qenie Klunzinger 1870 和 Sphyraena putnamae Jordan 和 Seale 1905（Sphyraenidae）在共享第二背鳍和臀鳍的细长尾鳍、一个完全黑色的尾鳍和第一鳃弓片上没有刺的情况下彼此相似。Sphyraena qenie，以前被认为与 S. putnamae 的区别在于在尾鳍中央边缘有一对小裂片（与 S. putnamae 中没有裂片相比）和身体上有 18-22 条深色侧带（与大约 15 条带相比） )，其特征还在于几个新识别的诊断特征，包括眼睛和前鳃盖骨边缘之间的鳞片行数，以及几种形态测量学，即上颌、前背鳍、前骨盆鳍、前第二背和臀鳍鳍条和尾柄长度。
