E-mail: [email protected] 2 Conservation International Indonesia Marine Program. Jl. Dr. Muwardi No. 17, Renon, Denpasar 80235 Indonesia. Abstract A checklist of shallow (to 60 m depth) reef fishes is provided for the Bird’s Head Peninsula region of West Papua, Indonesia. The area, which occupies the extreme western end of New Guinea, contains the world’s most diverse assemblage of coral reef fishes. The current checklist, which includes both historical records and recent survey results, includes 1,511 species in 451 genera and 111 families. Respective species totals for the three main coral reef areas – Raja Ampat Islands, Fakfak-Kaimana coast, and Cenderawasih Bay – are 1320, 995, and 877. In addition to its extraordinary species diversity, the region exhibits a remarkable level of endemism considering its relatively small area. A total of 26 species in 14 families are currently considered to be confined to the region. Introduction and finally a complex geologic past highlighted The region consisting of eastern Indonesia, East by shifting island arcs, oceanic plate collisions, Timor, Sabah, Philippines, Papua New Guinea, and widely fluctuating sea levels (Polhemus and the Solomon Islands is the global centre of 2007). reef fish diversity (Allen 2008). Approximately 2,460 species or 60 percent of the entire reef fish The Bird’s Head Peninsula and surrounding fauna of the Indo-West Pacific inhabits this waters has attracted the attention of naturalists and region, which is commonly referred to as the scientists ever since it was first visited by Coral Triangle (CT).

GILL1,2 1Macleay Museum and School of Biological Sciences, A12 – Macleay Building, The University of Sydney, New South Wales 2006, Aus- tralia. Email: [email protected] 2Ichthyology, Australian Museum, 6 College Street, Sydney, New South Wales 2010, Australia. Abstract The monotypic Australian pseudochromid fish genera Assiculus and Assiculoides had been previously included in the sub- family Pseudochrominae on the basis of symplesiomorphic characters. Osteological synapomorphies are identified in sup- port of a closer relationship to the remaining pseudochromid subfamilies. Two synapomorphies (five or fewer infraorbital bones, haemal spine of preural vertebra 2 attached to centrum) diagnose a clade consisting of Assiculoides, Pseudople- siopinae, Anisochrominae and Congrogadinae. Two additional synapomorphies (parhypural not separate from hypurals 1+2, total caudal-fin rays modally 27 or fewer) diagnose a more inclusive clade that also includes Assiculus. Two new subfamilies are erected to reflect these relationships. Key words: osteology; Assiculoidinae new subfamily; Assiculinae new subfamily; Australia; systematics Introduction The Indo-Pacific reef-fish family Pseudochromidae is currently divided into four subfamilies, three of which are demonstrably monophyletic: Anisochrominae (Gill & Fricke 2001); Congrogadinae (Godkin & Winterbottom 1985); Pseudoplesiopinae (Gill & Edwards 1999). The fourth subfamily, Pseudochrominae, is by far the largest with 10 genera and nearly 100 described species, but is diagnosed only by symplesiomorphic characters (Gill 2004): pelvic-fin rays I,5 (versus I,4 or fewer); all segmented pelvic-fin rays branched (vs.

Its dorsal-fin spine count of XVIII is unique in the genus. The fol- lowing combination of characters also distinguishes it from congeners: first two dorsal-fin pterygio- phores in the 3rd interneural space (anterior dorsal-fin formula ?/?/I+I/I/I/I/I//I/I/I); 3 dentary pores; 2 intertemporal pores; head and body generally brownish with darker pigment spots (from shrunken melanophores), excepting a paler stripe from the anterior half of the symphyseal flap on the lower lip to the origin of the dorsal fin (continuing on to the first dorsal spine), a pale spot on the pectoral- fin base, and a pale caudal peduncle continuous with pale bases of last 3 segmented dorsal- and anal-fin rays; regular ctenoid scales; no membranous attachment of last dorsal- or anal-fin rays to caudal fin. The new species might be the sister taxon to A. psilogaster as they share the putative derived character of two dorsal-fin pterygiophores in the 3rd interneural space.

His outstanding guidance, astute feedback, incredible generosity, and tremendous patience cannot be credited adequately within the scope of this acknowledgements section. Besides his supervisory contribution to my degree, I am grateful for the countless hours full of cheerful negotiations, curly remarks, philosophical debates, humorous chitchat, and priceless counselling. I also thank everybody who has helped me in the field: Jordan Casey, Christopher Goatley, Jennifer Hodge, James Kerry, Michael Kramer, Katia Nicolet, Justin Welsh, and the entire staff of Lizard Island Research Station. I am especially grateful for Christopher Mirbach’s help, commitment, and loyalty throughout many weeks of fieldwork. This thesis would have been impossible without his dedication and enthusiasm for marine fieldwork.

  • Pseudochromidae 2557
    click for previous page Perciformes: Percoidei: Pseudochromidae 2557 PSEUDOCHROMIDAE Dottybacks (eelblennies) by A.C. Gill iagnostic characters: Perch-like to eel-like fishes (size to 45 cm), moderately deep bodied to Delongate, usually moderately compressed. Mouth moderate, weakly protrusible; maxilla usually not extending posteriorly beyond middle of eye. Branchiostegal rays 6, with a single ray articulating with the posterior ceratohyal (epihyal). Dorsal fin long based, composed of III or fewer spines (very rarely IV spines in some species) and 21 to 74 segmented rays. Lateral line modified (disjunct, posteriorly truncated or multiple). Adductor mandibulae (jaw) musculature with a superficial, strap-like A1 section, which inserts on the medial face of the maxilla and originates on the vertical part of the preopercle. Hypurals 1 and 2 fused to each other; hypurals 3 and 4 fused to each other and to urostylar complex; no interarcual cartilage between epibranchial 1 and infrapharyngobranchial 2; anterior part of suspensorium weakly attached to posterior part. Habitat, biology, and fisheries: Cryptic diurnal inhabitants of coral reefs and rock bottoms; a few species live in large sponges; occur from shallow intertidal areas to depths of about 100 m. Most are generalist micropredators feeding on small fishes, crustaceans, small molluscs, and worms. Usually occur singly or in pairs. Many if not most species are sequential hermaphrodites. Eggs are ornamented with filaments and, sometimes, hook-like structures; eggs are arranged in a ball or mass, owing to the filaments of adjacent eggs entangling with each other; the egg mass is guarded by the male in a burrow or cave until the larvae hatch and become free swimming.
