Histiophryne pogonius, a new species of frogfish of the teleost order Lophiiformes, family Antennariidae, is describedfrom a total of five specimens: three collected in shallow waters surrounding Lombok, Indonesia, one reportedly from thenearshore waters of Cebu, Philippines, and a photograph of a specimen from Komodo Island, Indonesia. The new taxondiffers from its congeners in having an extremely small illicium and esca, barely discernible even with aid of a dissectingmicroscope; dark pink pigmentation overlaying a pale pink background, including a dark pink basidorsal spot; a smallwhite encrusted patch of skin always present posterior to pectoral-fin origin, with similar patches sometimes present oncheeks; body everywhere covered with small dark reddish to black spots, including lips and outer margins of the sclera,spots encircled by a thin white ring; cheeks with shallow depressions, giving head a pitted appearance; head lightlycovered with cutaneous cirri, especially around edges of opercle; upper and lower lips with short cutaneous cirri; andgenetic divergence in mitochondrial gene cytochrome oxidase c subunit I (COI). The new species is described andcompared with its congeners, and a phylogenetic tree based on the nuclear recombination activation gene-2 (RAG2) and mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase c subunit I (COI) and 16S genes is presented.

A New Species

A new species of cubozoan jellyfish has been discovered in shallow waters of Bonaire, Netherlands (Dutch Caribbean). Thus far, approximately 50 sightings of the species, known commonly as the Bonaire banded box jelly, are recorded, and three specimens have been collected. Three physical encounters between humans and the species have been reported. Available evidence suggests that a serious sting is inflicted by this medusa. To increase awareness of the scientific disciplines of systematics and taxonomy, the public has been involved in naming this new species. The Bonaire banded box jelly, Tamoya ohboya, n. sp., can be distinguished from its close relatives T. haplonema from Brazil and T. sp. from the southeastern United States by differences in tentacle coloration, cnidome, and mitochondrial gene sequences. Tamoya ohboya n. sp. possesses striking dark brown to reddish-orange banded tentacles, nematocyst warts that densely cover the animal, and a deep stomach. We provide a detailed comparison of nematocyst data from Tamoya ohboya n. sp., T. haplonema from Brazil, and T. sp. from the Gulf of Mexico.

A New Species

A new species of Tetragonopterus is described from the rio Jari, a tributary to the left margin of rio Amazonas, at the border between Amapá and Pará States, northern Brazil. It is morphologically diagnosed from the other species of the genus (T. argenteus, T. chalceus, and T. rarus new combination) by the lozenge-shaped spot on the caudal peduncle vs. rounded to square spot on the other species. Partial sequences of the mitochondrial gene Cytochrome Oxidase C subunit I, from representatives of all valid species of Tetragonopterus, including this new species, were analyzed. The obtained results revealed a significant genetic distance between the new species and its congeners. A discussion on the new combination, Tetragonopterus rarus, is also provided.

A New Species

Genus Ivalia Jacoby is characterized morphologically, and Amphimeloides Jacoby syn. nov. and Taizonia Chen syn. nov. are junior synonyms with it. Several Ivalia species are figured, including Ivalia bella (Chen) comb. nov., I. dorsalis (Jacoby) comb. nov., and I. viridipennis Jacoby. A new species of Ivalia from the Nilgiri Hills in south India, I. korakundah sp. nov., is described and illustrated, including the larvae. Larvae were associated with adults by sequencing a fragment of the mitochondrial gene cytochrome oxidase I. Larval morphology is discussed and compared with that of other flea beetles.

A New Species

Histiophryne maggiewalker, a new species of frogfish of the teleost order Lophiiformes, family Antennariidae, is described from six specimens collected in shallow waters off Queensland, Australia. The new taxon differs from its congeners in having a relatively long illicium and esca, the latter expanded distally, more or less rectangular; and genetic divergence in the nuclear recombination activation gene-2 (RAG2) and cytochrome oxidase-I (COI) genes. Members of the new species are black with a reticulate patterning discernible only with aid of a dissecting scope; or white with light brown spots. The new species is described and compared with its congeners.

A New Species

A new species of the calanoid copepod, Pseudodiaptomus nansei sp. nov., which has formerly been identified as P. inopinus Burckhardt, 1913, is described from estuaries of the Nansei Islands, southernmost Japan. This new species was compared with a population of the closely related P. inopinus from the neighboring Kyushu Island, western Japan, which is redescribed here. The new species is readily distinguishable from P. inopinus by the absence of dorsal spiniform processes on the fifth pediger in both sexes, short posterior projections of the genital operculum, and thin caudal setae of the female instead of swollen seta in P. inopinus. The mitochondrial gene cytochrome oxidase subunit I (mtCOI) sequences of P. nansei differed by 21–26% from the examined population of P. inopinus, in contrast to a 0–3% difference within the population of each species. The absence of descriptions identifiable to P. nansei in previous studies outside the Nansei Islands, coupled with no occurrence of P. inopinus there, suggests that P. nansei is endemic to Nansei Islands and geographically segregated from P. inopinus.

A New Species

In an effort to reveal the Euphrates trout taxonomy, the Karasu River, which is one of the eastern drainages of the river, was investigated and three independent populations were identified. Result revealed that two populations belonged to Salmo munzuricus, which was known only in Munzur River, while the other population belonged to an unnamed species. Salmo baliki, a new species, is described from the Murat River, a drainage of Euphrates River. It differs from Salmo species in adjacent water by the combination of the following characters: a grayish body; commonly one, rarely two pale black spots behind eye and on cheek; two to seven black spots on opercle; a few black spots on back and upper part of flank, missing on predorsal area; few to numerous large irregular-shaped red spots in median, upper and lower part of flank, surrounded by a large irregular-shaped white ring; the number of black and red spots not increasing in parallel with size; maxilla short and narrow; adipose-fin medium size, no or rarely one or two red spot its posterior edge; 107–118 lateral line scales; 24–28 scales rows between dorsal-in origin and lateral line; 18–22 scale rows between lateral line and anal–fin origin; maxilla length 7.7–9.1% SL in males, 8.2–9.6 in females. Finally, the genetic study of the Cyt b mitochondrial gene confirmed the morphological data, suggesting the separation of S. baliki from other Salmo species.

A New Species

A new species of threadfin bream, Nemipterus andamanensis n. sp. from the Andaman Islands is described and figured. N. andamanensis resembles N. marginatus (Valenciennes, 1830) in general body form and colour pattern, but differs from the latter by having four yellow stripes on the head region, upper lobe of caudal fin and filament yellow, and lower lobe of caudal fin pinkish. The mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase C subunit I (COI) gene sequence comparison with close species revealed that Nemipterus andamanensis n. sp. has distinct genetic divergence (8.5%) from Nemipterus marginatus and other species of the genus occurring in the area.

Impatiens suksathanii Ruchis. & Triboun, a new species from a limestone area in Kanchanaburi Province in Southwestern Thailand, is described and illustrated. This endemic new species is clearly distinguished from the most similar I. namkatensis T.Shimizu by having sessile to very short petioles, linear, narrowly lanceolate to narrowly oblanceolate laminas, and pale pink flowers. Its conservation status is also assessed as Critically Endangered.
