  abstract = {{N}ew data based on multigene phylogenetic analyses using the {COI}, 16{S}, and cytb genes and subsequent molecular species delimitation revealed that the mugilid genus {C}helon contains 11 species. {O}f these, two species, {C}helon sp. {A} and {C}helon sp. {B}, remained unidentified in previous studies. {W}hile {C}helon sp. {B} seemingly is a close relative to {C}. dumerili ({S}teindachner, 1870), no more detailed information were provided for {C}helon sp. {A} which is present along the east coast of {S}outh {A}frica. {G}enetic analyses performed in this study, revealed that specimens from the {A}rabian/{P}ersian {G}ulf and the {R}ed {S}ea are nested within one genetic lineage alongside {C}helon sp. {A}. {M}orphological, morphometric, and meristic analyses of specimens from all three areas demonstrated that they belong to {C}helon persicus {S}enou, {R}andall & {O}kyiama, 1995. {C}helon persicus was originally described in the genus {C}helon but was later placed either in the genus {L}iza or {P}laniliza. {H}owever, results presented herein confirm its placement in {C}helon and its distribution range is extended in the {W}estern {I}ndian {O}cean from the type locality ({A}rabian/{P}ersian {G}ulf) west to the {R}ed {S}ea and south to {S}outh {A}frica. {F}urther, the uncertain validity of the recently described {C}helon caeruleus {D}eef, 2018 from the {M}editerranean {S}ea and a previously proposed generic character distinguishing {C}helon from {P}laniliza and {P}arachelon, the shape of the paired postzygapophyses of the second vertebra, are briefly discussed.},
