A New Species

A new species, Diopatra marocensis, is described from the fine sand Abra alba community, Sidi Boulbra, south Moroccan Atlantic coast. The new species is a member of the D. cuprea complex and is characterized by having crescentic nuchal grooves, short ceratophores, a short branchiate region, four pairs of modified parapodia with bidentate pseudocompound hooks, pectinate setae with 11–20 teeth, limbate setae with conspicuously serrated shelf, and subacicular hooks from setiger 13–15. Eggs of Diopatra marocensis sp. nov. are deposited in the parental tube, where they undergo direct development and remain until the young consist of 32–34 setigers.

A New Species

A new species of the genus Hemitriakis Herre, 1923 (Family Triakidae, Order Carcharhiniformes), is described from off the islands of Bali and Lombok in eastern Indonesia. Hemitriakis indroyonoi is separable from the other congeners, H. abdita, H. complicofasciata, H. falcata, H. japanica and H. leucoperiptera, by a combination of vertebral counts, morphometric characters, and juvenile coloration. H. indroyonoi is most similar to H. falcata from northwestern Australia but differs in juvenile coloration, some meristic and morphological characters, size and cranial morphology. The new species is allopatric to other members of this genus.

A New Species

Maddock et al. (2015) described a supposedly new species of death adder (Squamata, Elapidae) from northwestern Australia as Acanthophis cryptamydros. However, Maddock et al. (2015: 307) themselves admitted that this name was a junior synonym of Acanthophis lancasteri Wells & Wellington, 1985: “Since the only existing name applicable to this taxon, Acanthophis lancasteri Wells & Wellington, 1985, is a nomen nudum (Aplin & Donnellan 1999), we describe it as a new species below (...)”.

A New Species

We describe a new species of microhylid frog of the genus Chiasmocleis from the upper Amazon basin of Peru (area of Iquitos, Departamento Loreto). The new species is characterized by small size, distinct reduction of fingers I and IV and the presence of large unpigmented eggs in the oviducts. The latter character is so far unknown in the recognized species of the genus and may indicate the presence of a terrestrial reproductive mode. The generic placement of the new species is discussed.

A New Species

A new species of jawfish, Opistognathus ensiferus n. sp., is described based on a single specimen from Manauli Reef in the Gulf of Mannar, India. It is a member of a species group that also includes Opistognathus solorensis Bleeker (Indonesia, Philippines, Taiwan and Palau) and O. verecundus Smith-Vaniz (northwestern Australia). From these two species O. ensiferus n. sp. differs in lacking dark oral pigmentation, except inner lining of upper jaw and adjacent membranes with a single dark stripe (vs. two stripes) and in having a lateral line ending below the 6th or 7th segmented dorsal-fin ray (vs. below the 1st to 4th ray). Opistognathus solorensis is redescribed and in the absence of extant type specimens a neotype is designated. Two strikingly different color morphs are documented for O. solorensis, including the less common one which is almost entirely yellow.
