NIELSEN1*, WERNER SCHWARZHANS1 & FRANZ UIBLEIN2,3 1Zoological Museum, Natural History Museum of Denmark, Copenhagen, Denmark, 2Institute of Marine Science, Bergen, Norway, and 3South African Institute of Aquatic Biodiversity, Grahamstown, South Africa Abstract Currently, three of the seven described species of Sirembo Bleeker, 1858 and both species of Spottobrotula Cohen & Nielsen, 1978 are considered valid. The present revision is based on 73 specimens of Sirembo known from the Red Sea to Japan and southwards to off northwestern Australia and northern New South Wales and 19 specimens of Spottobrotula known from the Persian Gulf to the Mozambique Channel and from the Andaman Sea. The main characters separating the two genera are the number of long rakers on the anterior gill arch and the form of the sagittal otolith. Based on this distinction Spottobrotula amaculata Cohen & Nielsen, 1982 is transferred to Sirembo. While newly caught specimens can easily be identified by their colour pattern, preserved material requires identification based on meristic and morphometric characters. Three new species are herein described, Sirembo wami, Spottobrotula mossambica and Spottobrotula persica, while Sirembo jerdoni is reported for the first time from Vietnam. These and all other species of the two genera can be identified by combining number of long gill rakers, number of pseudobranchial filaments, number of pectoral fin rays, number and size of scales between dorsal fin origin and lateral line, and prepelvic and pelvic fin length in per cent of SL. The distinction from other genera is discussed. Key words: Generic revision, new species, Ophidiidae, Sirembo, Spottobrotula Introduction Five of the nine previously described species of the two genera are here regarded as valid: Sirembo The two ophidiid genera Sirembo Bleeker, 1858 and imberbis (Temminck & Schlegel, 1846) (northern Spottobrotula Cohen & Nielsen, 1978 are known from the western Indian Ocean (Red Sea and Persian Gulf Australia to Japan), Si. jerdoni (Day, 1888) (Gulf of southward to Mozambique Channel) eastwards to Suez to Philippines and northeastern Australia), Si.

Abstract During the last decades, mitochondria and their DNA have become a hot topic of re- search due to their essential roles which are necessary for cells survival and pathology. In this study, multiple methods have been developed to help with the understanding of mitochondrial DNA and its evolution. These methods tackle two essential prob- lems in this area: the accurate annotation of protein-coding genes and mitochondrial genome rearrangements. Mitochondrial genome sequences are published nowadays with increasing pace, which creates the need for accurate and fast annotation tools that do not require manual intervention. In this work, an automated pipeline for fast de-novo annotation of mitochondrial protein-coding genes is implemented. The pipeline includes methods for enhancing multiple sequence alignment, detecting frameshifts and building pro- tein proles guided by phylogeny. The methods are tested on animal mitogenomes available in RefSeq, the comparison with reference annotations highlights the high quality of the produced annotations. Furthermore, the frameshift method predicted a large number of frameshifts, many of which were unknown.
