Corresponding author: Mohammad Noor Azmai Amal, [email protected] Abstract The upper Pelus River is located in the remote area of the Kuala Kangsar district, Perak, Malaysia. Recently, the forest along the upper portion of the Pelus River has come under threat due to extensive lumbering and land clearing for plantations. Sampling at 3 localities in the upper Pelus River at 457, 156 and 89 m above mean sea level yielded 521 specimens representing 4 orders, 11 families, 23 genera and 26 species. The most abundant species was Neolissochilus hexagonolepis, followed by Homalopteroides tweediei and Glyptothorax major. The fish community structure indices was observed to increase from the upper to lower portion of the river, which might reflect differences in water velocity. Key words Faunal inventory; freshwater; species diversity; tropical forest.

Corresponding author: *E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The Snakehead fishes have significant economic importance in Bangladesh as food due to their exquisite taste. Some species of snakeheads are considered in threatened categories due to their population decline and loss of habitats. DNA Barcoding has been considered as a global bio- identification system for freshwater and marine fishes in recent years. In the present study, four snakehead species: Channa gachua, C. marulius, C. punctata and C. striata were investigated using both morphological methods and molecular identification with mitochondrial Cytochrome c Oxidase subunit I (COI) gene. Our study confirms that no C. orientalis existing in Bangladesh and all the older reports are pertaining to C. gachua. Phylogenetic relationships, the divergence of sequences between species was determined using Kimura 2-parameter distance model, and a Maximum Likelihood tree was generated in which the COI sequences for each of the four species could clearly be discriminated. The average interspecies genetic divergence was 26.90%. The study strongly validated the efficacy of COI as an ideal marker for DNA barcoding of Bangladeshi freshwater fishes and identification of specific species that necessitate further taxonomic study.

    67 (2): 173 –178 © Senckenberg Gesellschaft für Naturforschung, 2017. 24.10.2017 Description of a new dwarf snakehead (Perciformes: Channidae) from western Yunnan Marco Endruweit Kunming College of Life Sciences, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Kunming, Yunnan 650204, China — Kunming Institute of Zoo­ logy, State Key Laboratory of Genetic Resources and Evolution, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Kunming, Yunnan 650223, China; endruweit @ mail.kiz.ac.cn Accepted 15.vi.2017. Published online at www.senckenberg.de/vertebrate­zoology on 13.x.2017. Abstract Channa shingon, new species, is described from small mountainous rivulets associated with the Irrawaddy drainage in western Yunnan Province, China. Its maximum SL of about 100 mm makes it the smallest pelvic-fin bearing dwarf snakehead. Further specific characters are lateral head length 27 – 30 % SL; interorbital width 33 – 35 % HL; 25 – 27 anal-fin rays; 44 – 45 lateral-line scales; 4 – 5 scale rows between dorsal-fin origin and lateral line; 8 – 9 scale rows between lateral line and anal-fin origin; 1 mandibular scale; 43 – 44 vertebrae; in- feromesial process of parasphenoid very shallow and straight; dorsal profile conspicuously bulging in front of dorsal fin; juveniles without ocellus-like mark on posterior part of dorsal fin; and a pectoral-fin pattern of 3– 4 broad gray to black bands alternating with cream to white interspaces, bands increasingly wide towards distal edge of the fin, interspaces equally wide as bands or narrower. Key words Channa; new species; Irrawaddy; Salween; taxonomy. Introduction Dwarf snakeheads are a common element of Southeast BRITZ (2008). The complex comprises taxa with and Asia’s freshwater ichthyofauna.
