Roberts 1 and David Catanul ABSTRACT A poorly known paper describing new taxa of cyprinid fishes from the Red River basin of North North Vietnam (NaUYEN & DOAN , 1969) is regarded here ぉ validly published for purposes of zoological zoological nomenclature in 出e sense of the ICZN. The present taxonomic status of the 2 new genera , 16 new species ,and 1 new subspecies 釘 e reviewed on the basis ofthe original specimens , examined by us for the first time , and the hitherto unpublished original figures (see preceding paper paper by NaUYEN , 2007). No type specimens were designated in the original publication. Lec- totypes 悶 designated here from the material originally reported and figured for La ichowcypris dai ,Nicholsicypris dorsohorizontalis ,Li ssochilus laocaiensis , Puntius takhoaensis ,Varicorhinus argenta ωs ,V. erythrogenys ,V. microstomus ,Onychosloma microcorpus ,and O. brevicephalus. Neotypes 蹴 designated for Crossocheilus namlenensis and Eη, throculter pseudobrevicauda macrothalmus. macrothalmus. Biological observations are reported .f or several of the taxa. La ichowcypris ,a distinctive distinctive Cyprininae known only from the Red River basin , has not been seen since 1970 and might might be extinc t. Li ssochilus laocaiensis ,refe 汀ed to the genus Acrossocheilus ,apparently is a valid valid species. Recently collected material indicates it and other congeners are progynous her- maphrodites maphrodites that undergo marked changes in coloration as they change 合om sexually imrnature juveniles juveniles to females to males. Li ssochilus longibarbus is a junior syno 町 m of Spinibarbus mac- racanthus racanthus (Pellegrin & Chevey 1936) , which is in tum a junior synonym of Barbus alloiopleurus Vaillant Vaillant 1893. 百le species should be known as Paraspinibarbus alloiopleurus (Vaillant 1893). The iII ustrated type specimen of Crossocheilus benasi Pellegrin & Chevey 1936 is designated as neotype neotype of Crossocheilus namlenensis Nguyen & Doan 1969; the nominal species thus becomes an an objective junior synonym of Neolissochilus benasi (Pellegrin & Chevey 1936). The holotype of of E. η throculter hypselonotus ぬovantieni Banaresu 1967 from the Boi River in north Vi etnam is is designated as nωtype for Erythroculter pseudobrevicauda macrothalmus Nguyen & Doan 1969; 1969; this nominal subspecies 出us becomes a junior objective synonym of Ancherythroculter daovantieni daovantieni (Banarescu 1967). Hemibarbus longianalis Nguyen & Do an 1969 , preoccupied by Hembarbus longianalis Kimura 1943 ,is permanently invalid.

ROBERTS AND DAVID CATANIA 町 TRODUC 百ON A poorly known paper in Vietnamese by Nguyen Van Hao and Hoa Le Doan is an im- portant portant con 凶 bution to knowledge of the 合国hwater fishes of the Red River basin (NOUYEN & DOAN , 1969). In addition to a review of the then current taxonomic status of various poorly poorly known North Vietnamese cyprinid fishes ,it includes original descriptions of 2 new genera , 16 new species ,and 1 new subspecies ,all in the far 凶ly Cyprinidae. It represents 吐le most substantial contribution to date to systematic ichthyology of the Research Institute for Aquaculture Aquaculture in Hanoi (RIAH No. 1) which houses the most comprehensive collection of the fishes fishes of the Red River basin to be found anywhere. Th e present 釘 ticle is preceded by an English English translation by Nguyen Van Car 由 (NOUYEN , 2007) and an article with 15 of 由e 17 hitherto hitherto unpublished figures by Nguyen Van Hao ,one of the original authors (NouYEN , 2007). 百le present paper concems: 1) designation of lectotypes for all but two of the species level taxa; taxa; 2) designation of neotypes for the two species-level t砿 a remaining without lectotypes; 3) 3) current taxonomic staωs of the generic and species taxa; level and 4) biological observa- tions tions on some of the taxa. For some years before and after 1969 Vietnam was politically , academically and scientifically scientifically one of the most isolated countries in the world. Vietnamese ichthyologists had v註tually no contact with colleagues in any other coun 住Y (Mai Din Yenh ,pers. comm. , 1999). τ'h ey taught each other and decided amongst themselves how to report on 日sh species. Some intemationally intemationally accepted conventions were not followed.τ 'h e work by Mai Din Yen (MAI , 1978) 1978) as well as that ofNoUYEN & DOAN (1969) reflects this isolation. New fish species were proposed proposed in both of these works without designation of type specimens. Many specimens are reported reported on but none are referred to by institutional catalog numbers. In In the present paper all of the spec 泊施ns used in the accounts of new species by NOUYEN & DOAN (1969) ,al 血ough not named in the paper as such ,紅 e regarded as syntypes ,and hence eligible eligible for lectotype designation. Most of these specimens 釘 e in the fish collection of the Research Research Institute for Aquaculture No. 1 in Hanoi. Wh enever 白ey could be identified , the specimens specimens originally drawn for inclusion in NOUYEN & DOAN (1969) but not published until NOUYEN , V.H. (2007) (preceding article) 眠 designated as leωtypes. 百ley have been identified as as such on the basis of a combination of information: labels on the specimen bottles includ- ing ing the n創 nes given to the new species and often the same locality data; scale bars in mm on the the original figures making it possible to calculate the approximate or in some instances the precise precise standard lengths of the specimens figured; and 合om the drawings themselves. These 紅 'e of such high quality 血at not only the species but sometimes the actual specimen which served served as the basis for a drawing can be identified with near certainty. Lectoypes 紅 e designated for all of the new species level taxa described by NOUYEN & DOAN (1969) for which: 1) the original drawings 紅 'e available (see preceding article); and 2) specimens 紅 e present in the RIAH fish collection coηesponding to the drawings. In a few instances instances either the draw 泊gs are missing or no specimens could be found co 町 esponding to the the drawings.τ 'h ese instances are considered below. Th e order of presentation of the taxa follows 白紙 ofthe original paper (NOUYEN & DOAN , 1969). Neotypes are designated for Crossocheilus namlenensis and Eη throculter pseudobrevi- cauda macrothalmus. As of consequences these nominal taxa become objective junior syno- nyms ,respectively ,of benasi Neolissochelus (Pellegrin & Chevey 1936) and Anerythroculter daovantieni daovantieni (Ban 紅白cu 1967).

RED RIVER CYPRINIDAE DESCRIBED BY NGUYEN AND DOAN , 1969 89 The RIAH fish collection is almost entirely uncatalogued. During our visit the specimens designated designated here as lectotypes and some other specimens were assigned the catalog numbers reported reported here. It is hoped that the entire collection will be inven 旬 ried ,catalogued ,and made accessible accessible for scientific research. DESIGNATION OF LECTOTYPES AND NEOTYPES None ofthe 17 new species-Ievel t鼠 a (16 new species and 1 new subspecies) proposed by NGUYEN & DOAN (1969) has had a type specimen designation. Here the specimens utilized in 曲 e original descriptions are reg 紅白d as syntypes. Th ese specimens 釘 e deposited in 由e fish fish collection of RIAH No 1 (Research Institute for Aquaculture , in Hanoi). All of the new species species were illustrated ,and all but two of the illustrations 紅 e extant and have been repro- duced in the preceding paper (NGUYEN , V.H. 2007). Le ctotypes 紅 e hereby designated for 14 of of the 17 nominal taxa. Wh enever possible the specimen originally figured has been identified and designated as the lectotype. Neotypes are designated for two nominal taxa for which no specimens 釘 'e extent in 出e RIAH collection ,Crossocheilus namlenensis and Eη throculter pseudobrevicauda pseudobrevicauda macrothalmus. By these designations they become ,respectively ,objective junior junior synonyms of Neolissocheilus benasi (Pellegrin & Chevey 1936) and Arche η throculter daovantieni daovantieni (Banarescu 1969). The only nominal species of NGUYEN & DOAN (1969) for which neither lectotypes or neotypes are here designated are Lissochilus brevispinis and 拘 ricorhinus argentatus.

Further, identifying the sh population with unique shape due to variations in their morphometric characters enable better management of these subunits. Advanced statistical toolkits of morphometry called truss network system and geometric morphometrics have been increasingly used for detecting variations in morphological traits between subunits of sh populations. The present study was therefore carried out with the objective of determining phenotypically distinct units of freshwater sh Systomus sarana collected from geographically isolated locations. Methods: In the present study, 154 specimens of olive barb, S. sarana were collected from four distantly located rivers covering the northern (Ganga), southern (Godavari), central (Narmada), and eastern (Mahanadi) regions of India. Truss-network system and geometric morphometrics have been utilized. Fourteen landmarks were digitized uniformly on each specimen. In the present study, the truss network system yielded size-corrected morphometric characters that were subjected to univariate and multivariate statistical assessment.

  • Freshwater Fish Survey of Homadola-Nakiyadeniya Estates, Sri Lanka
    FRESHWATER FISH SURVEY OF HOMADOLA-NAKIYADENIYA ESTATES, SRI LANKA. Prepared by Hiranya Sudasinghe BSc. (Hons) Zoology, M.Phil. reading (University of Peradeniya) INTRODUCTION The diversity of freshwater fishes in Sri Lanka is remarkably high, with a total of 93 indigenous fishes being recorded from inland waters, out of which 53 are considered to be endemic (MOE, 2012; Batuwita et al., 2013). Out of these, 21 are listed as Critically Endangered, 19 as Endangered and five as Vulnerable in the National Red List (MOE, 2012). In addition, several new species of freshwater fishes have been discovered in the recent past which have not yet been evaluated for Red Listing (Batuwita et al., 2017; Sudasinghe 2017; Sudasinghe & Meegaskumbura, 2016; Sudasinghe et al., 2016). Out of the 22 families that represent the Sri Lankan freshwater ichthyofauna, the family Cyprinidae dominates, representing about 50% of the species, followed by the families Gobiidae, Channidae and Bagridae, which represent seven, five and four species, respectively. The remainder of the other families are each represented in Sri Lanka by three species or less. Four major ichthyological zones, viz. Southwestern zone, Mahaweli zone, Dry zone and the Transition zone were identified by Senanayake and Moyle (1982) based on the distribution and the endemism of the fish. The Southwestern zone shows the greatest diversity, followed by the Mahaweli zone, with the least diversity observed in the Dry zone. About 60% of the freshwater fishes occur both in the dry and the wet zones of the island while the rest are more or less restricted to the wet zone. Of the endemic fishes, more than 60% are restricted to the wet zone of the island while about 30% occur in both the dry and the wet zones.

RAGHUNATHAN, K. REMA DEYI AND T. J. INDRA Southern Regional Station, Zoological Survey of India, Chennai-600 028 INTRODUCTION Paddy fields are widespread and are integral parts of the landscape, especialIy in India. Standing water is more important to rice than most other cultivated plants. Although biological cycles are interrupted by cultivation, colonization in the aquatic phase can be rapid by zooplankton, benthos and nektonic animals along with phytoplankton and macrophytes. There is a rapid buildup of diversity of aquatic organisms after the planting of rice. Although this profusion of species may be short-lived their production biologically can be very high. Many attempts are known to have been made earlier to culture prawn and fish in the rice fields. As for the agricultural pests many studies have been conducted. But no detailed account is available on the fish faunal composition of paddy fields during aquatic and semiaquatic phases. Hence studies pertaining to aquatic and semiaquatic phases of rice fields were undertaken with special reference to fish faunal composition. MATERIAL AND METHODS From April 1998 to March 2000, regular monthly collections were made from a paddy field near Chennai in Singaperumalkoil. Though the studies were carried out in an area of 4.5 ha of paddy field behind Singaperumalkoil railway station, yet they were confined mostly to an easily accessible plot of 100m2• Fishes were mostly collected by using fish traps and bag nets besides cast­ nets.

  • ML-DSP: Machine Learning with Digital Signal Processing for Ultrafast, Accurate, and Scalable Genome Classification at All Taxonomic Levels Gurjit S
    Randhawa et al. BMC Genomics (2019) 20:267 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12864-019-5571-y SOFTWARE ARTICLE Open Access ML-DSP: Machine Learning with Digital Signal Processing for ultrafast, accurate, and scalable genome classification at all taxonomic levels Gurjit S. Randhawa1* , Kathleen A. Hill2 and Lila Kari3 Abstract Background: Although software tools abound for the comparison, analysis, identification, and classification of genomic sequences, taxonomic classification remains challenging due to the magnitude of the datasets and the intrinsic problems associated with classification. The need exists for an approach and software tool that addresses the limitations of existing alignment-based methods, as well as the challenges of recently proposed alignment-free methods. Results: We propose a novel combination of supervised Machine Learning with Digital Signal Processing, resulting in ML-DSP: an alignment-free software tool for ultrafast, accurate, and scalable genome classification at all taxonomic levels. We test ML-DSP by classifying 7396 full mitochondrial genomes at various taxonomic levels, from kingdom to genus, with an average classification accuracy of > 97%. A quantitative comparison with state-of-the-art classification software tools is performed, on two small benchmark datasets and one large 4322 vertebrate mtDNA genomes dataset. Our results show that ML-DSP overwhelmingly outperforms the alignment-based software MEGA7 (alignment with MUSCLE or CLUSTALW) in terms of processing time, while having comparable classification accuracies for small datasets and superior accuracies for the large dataset. Compared with the alignment-free software FFP (Feature Frequency Profile), ML-DSP has significantly better classification accuracy, and is overall faster. We also provide preliminary experiments indicating the potential of ML-DSP to be used for other datasets, by classifying 4271 complete dengue virus genomes into subtypes with 100% accuracy, and 4,710 bacterial genomes into phyla with 95.5% accuracy.

  • Celestial Pearl Danio", a New Genus and Species of Colourful Minute Cyprinid Fish from Myanmar (Pisces: Cypriniformes)
    THE RAFFLES BULLETIN OF ZOOLOGY 2007 55(1): 131-140 Date of Publication: 28 Feb.2007 © National University of Singapore THE "CELESTIAL PEARL DANIO", A NEW GENUS AND SPECIES OF COLOURFUL MINUTE CYPRINID FISH FROM MYANMAR (PISCES: CYPRINIFORMES) Tyson R. Roberts Research Associate, Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT. - Celestichthys margaritatus, a new genus and species of Danioinae, is described from a rapidly developing locality in the Salween basin about 70-80 km northeast of Inle Lake in northern Myanmar. Males and females are strikingly colouful. It is apparently most closely related to two danioins endemic to Inle, Microrasbora rubescens and "Microrasbora" erythromicron. The latter species may be congeneric with the new species. The new genus is identified as a danioin by specializations on its lower jaw and its numerous anal fin rays. The colouration, while highly distinctive, seems also to be characteristically danioin. The danioin notch (Roberts, 1986; Fang, 2003) is reduced or absent, but the danioin mandibular flap and bony knob (defined herein) are present. The anal fin has iiiSVz-lOV: rays. In addition to its distinctive body spots and barred fins the new fish is distinguished from other species of danioins by the following combination of characters: snout and mouth extremely short; premaxillary with an elongate and very slender ascending process; mandible foreshortened; body deep, with rounded dorsal and anal fins; modal vertebral count 15+16=31; caudal fin moderately rather than deeply forked; principal caudal fin rays 9/8; scales vertically ovoid; and pharyngeal teeth conical, in three rows KEY WORDS. - Hopong; principal caudal fin rays; danioin mandibular notch, knob, and pad; captive breeding.

Discherodontus, a new genw of cyprinid firhes from southeastern Asia. Occ. Pap. Mzcs. 2001. Univ. Michigan, 718:I-31, figs. 1-6. Three species of southeast Asian barbins were found to have two rows of pharyngeal teeth, a character unique among barbins. These species also share several other characters which indicate their close relationship, and allow the taxonomic recognition of the genus. Members of this new genus, Discherodontzcs, are found in the Mekong, Chao Phrya, and Meklong basins of Thailand and the Pahang basin of the Malay peninsula. The new genus appears to be most closely related to Chagunizcs of Burma and India, and a group of at least six genera of the southeast Asia-Sunda Shelf basins. Key words: Discherodontus, fihes, Cyprinidae, taxonomy, natural history, Southemt Asia. INTRODUCTION Among the diverse array of barbins of southern and southeastern Asia, there are a number of generic-ranked groups which are poorly understood, or which still await taxonomic recognition. One group of three closely related species, included until now in two genera, is the subject of this paper. Prior to this study, two of the three species in this new genus have been relegated to Puntius of Hamilton (1822), but as understood by Weber and de Beaufort (1916), and by Smith (1945).

In particular, university and NGO experts provided significant help in identifying species. Many of the plants species were identified by Prof. J. Maxwell of Chiang Mai University. Richard Burnett of the Upland Holistic Development Project helped identify rattan species. Dr. Rattanawat Chaiyarat of Mahidol Universitys Kanchanaburi Research Station assisted with frog identification. Pictures of the fish species, including endemic and unknown species, were sent to Dr. Chavalit Witdhayanon of World Wildlife Fund - Thailand and examined by his students. Prof. Philip Round of Mahidol University identified one bird from a fuzzy picture, and John Parr, author of A Guide to the Large Mammals of Thailand, gave comments on an early draft of this report. Miss Prapaporn Pangkeaw of Southeast Asia Rivers Network also made invaluable contributions. E-Desk provided invaluable resources and encouragement. Finally, we must give our greatest thanks to the local people of Khoe Kay and Baw Ka Der villages, who shared their time, knowledge, experience and homes with us while we recorded our findings.
