Here is an article off Reefs.com about an tang hybrid. The author claims its a hybrid between A. leucosternon and A. dussumieri. To me it looks like A. leucosternon (obviously) x A. lineatus. Curious to hear other opinions.

I am no expert by any means, but seeing as the hybrid has yellow with blue stripes in its anal & caudal fins, I would have to lean towards a A. dussumieri. A. lineatus may have a bit of yellow in its anal & caudal fins, but not nearly the pronounced yellow of this hybrid. The shape of the caudal fin does certainly resemble the shape of A. lineatus though. Very cool either way!

The stripes on the dorsal and anal fins remind me more of xanthopterus than dussmieri.
