Abstract

The rare spookfish Dolichopteryx anascopa Brauer , the original description of which was incomplete due to damage, is redescribed on the basis of the holotype and an additional single specimen collected from south of west Mariana Ridge, western North Pacific. It is easily distinguishable from other species of Dolichopteryx by the tubular eyes with an oval opaque layer on the ventral aspect, anal-fin base originating under the dorsal-fin base, pelvic-fin base inserted at ca. 3/5 of standard length, anus anterior to the dorsal-fin base, elongate pectoral- and pelvic-fin rays, an adipose fin present, 31-32 (= 8 + 1 + 22-23) gill rakers and 43 vertebrae.

Abstract

The genus Spaniodon is decribed in detail. Contrary to previous authors, we have only recognized two species, S. elongatus and S. latus. Spaniodon shows the synapomorphies of clupeocephalans, protacanthopterygians and salmoniforms. Its relationships among salmoniforms are still undecided, although it could be closely related to the Osmeroidei. The main character that supports this grouping is the dermal part of the mesethmoid formed by the partial fusion of a pair of lateral dermethmoids, whereas the rostral is absent. These conclusions are also supported by a global phylogenetic study of the teleosts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The current checklist provides for each species of the Red Sea its records in the Gulf of Suez, Gulf of Aqaba, Red Sea main basin and its general distribution.This new checklist of Red Sea fishes enumerates 1207 species, representing 164 families. Of these, 797 species were recorded from the Gulf of Aqaba and 339 from the Gulf of Suez. The number of species from the Gulf of Suez is evidently lower than the actual number not including 27 Lessepsian (Red Sea) migrants to the Mediterranean that most likely occur in the Gulf. The current list includes 73 species that were newly described for science since the last checklist of 2010. The most specious Osteichthyes families are: Gobiidae (134 species), Labridae (66), Apogonidae (59), Serranidae (including Anthiadinae) (44), Blenniidae (42), Carangidae (38), Muraenidae (36), Pomacentridae (35), Syngnathidae (34), Scorpaenidae (24) and Lutjanidae (23). Among the families of Chondrichthyes, the most specious families are the Carcharhinidae (18 species) and Dasyatidae (11). The total number of endemic species in the Red Sea is 174 species, of these, 34 species are endemic to the Gulf of Aqaba and 8 to the Gulf of Suez.
