Dampierosa daruma Whitley 1932 and Erosa erosa (Cuvier in Cuvier and Valenciennes 1829) (Synanceiidae) were redescribed on the basis of both primary type and non-type specimens. The validity of Dampierosa Whitley 1932 has previously been uncertain, the name sometimes being regarded as a junior synonym of Erosa Swainson 1839. However, the following morphological differences between the type species of both genera (monotypic) confirmed the validity of the former: (1) usually XIII, 8 dorsal-fin rays in D. daruma (vs. XIV, 6 in E. erosa); (2) usually I, 6 anal-fin rays (vs. III, 5); (3) 12 pectoral-fin rays (vs. 15); (4) dorsal head contour rounded in lateral view (vs. not rounded); (5) occipital pit star or asterisk shaped (vs. parallelogram or quadrate shaped); (6) opercle relatively small, with weakly developed spines and ridges (vs. opercle relatively large, with well developed spines and ridges); (7) 2nd mandibular pores (just behind mandibular symphysis) separated in large adults (fused, forming a single pore in small specimens) (vs. fused, forming a single pore throughout life); and (8) body entirely covered with numerous warts (vs. partially covered with warts). Erosa fratrum Ogilby 1910a and Erosa iridea Ogilby 1910b are regarded as junior synonyms of nominal Synanceia erosa. Dampierosa daruma is restricted to northwestern Australia, whereas E. erosa is widely distributed in the western Pacific and southeastern Indian Ocean, ranging from Australia, New Caledonia and Tonga north to Japan.

Dampierosa daruma Whitley 1932 和Erosa erosa (Cuvier in Cuvier and Valenciennes 1829) (Synanceiidae) 在原始类型和非类型标本的基础上被重新描述。Dampierosa Whitley 1932的有效性以前一直不确定，这个名字有时被认为是Erosa Swainson 1839的次要同义词。然而，两个属（单型）的模式种之间的以下形态差异证实了前者的有效性：（1 ) 通常在D 中XIII, 8 条背鳍条。不倒翁（相对于XIV，6 ë。erosa); (2) 通常 I, 6 条臀鳍鱼 (vs. III, 5); (3) 12 条胸鳍鱼 (vs. 15)；(4) 背头轮廓在侧视图中呈圆形（与不圆形相比）；(5) 枕窝星形或星号形（相对于平行四边形或方形）；(6) 鳃盖较小，棘脊发育较弱（相对鳃盖较大，棘脊发育良好）；(7) 大成虫中分离的第二下颌孔（就在下颌联合后面）（融合，在小标本中形成单个孔）（与融合，终生形成单个孔）；(8) 身体完全被许多疣覆盖（与部分被疣覆盖相比）。Erosa fratrum Ogilby 1910a 和Erosa iridea Ogilby 1910b 被视为名义Synanceia erosa 的初级同义词。Dampierosa daruma仅限于澳大利亚西北部，而E . erosa广泛分布于西太平洋和印度洋东南部，从澳大利亚、新喀里多尼亚和汤加北部到日本。
