E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The genus Dupliciporia is considered valid based on observation of the type species, and is considered the senior syn- onym of Parasteganoderma and Liliaoralis. The new combinations Dupliciporia cephaloporum (Machida & Araki, 1990) and Dupliciporia cataluphi (Korotaeva, 1994) are formed. A new species, Dupliciporia lanterna, is described from the digestive tract of Priacanthus hamrur from the waters off New Caledonia, South Pacific. Dupliciporia lanterna n. sp. differs from its congeners in its elongate body and its rectilinear vitelline fields. Dupliciporia sp. (=Parastegano- derma sp. of El-Labadi et al. [2006]) from Pristigenys niphonia from the Gulf of Aqaba, is briefly described and figured.

    Pacific Plate Biogeography, with Special Reference to Shorefishes VICTOR G. SPRINGER m SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ZOOLOGY • NUMBER 367 SERIES PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Emphasis upon publication as a means of "diffusing knowledge" was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the Institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoo/ogy Smithsonian Studies in Air and Space Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report the research and collections of its various museums and bureaux or of professional colleagues in the world cf science and scholarship. The publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world. Papers or monographs submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Press, subject to its own review for format and style, only through departments of the various Smithsonian museums or bureaux, where the manuscripts are given substantive review.

The study of the Portuguese marine ichthyofauna has a long historical tradition, rooted back in the 18th Century. Here we present an annotated checklist of the marine fishes from Portuguese waters, including the area encompassed by the proposed extension of the Portuguese continental shelf and the Economic Exclusive Zone (EEZ). The list is based on historical literature records and taxon occurrence data obtained from natural history collections, together with new revisions and occurrences.

SUMMARY: The sagittal otolith of 348 species, belonging to 99 families and 22 orders of marine Teleostean fishes from the north and central eastern Atlantic and western Mediterranean were described using morphological and morphometric characters. The morphological descriptions were based on the otolith shape, outline and sulcus acusticus features. The mor- phometric parameters determined were otolith length (OL, mm), height (OH, mm), perimeter (P; mm) and area (A; mm2) and were expressed in terms of shape indices as circularity (P2/A), rectangularity (A/(OL×OH)), aspect ratio (OH/OL; %) and OL/fish size. The present Atlas provides information that complements the characterization of some ichthyologic taxa. In addition, it constitutes an important instrument for species identification using sagittal otoliths collected in fossiliferous layers, in archaeological sites or in feeding remains of bony fish predators. Keywords: otolith, sagitta, morphology, morphometry, western Mediterranean, north eastern Atlantic, central eastern Atlantic. RESUMEN: Otolitos de peces del mediterráneo occidental y del atlántico central y nororiental.

Zoological Studies 51(8): 1490-1506. This study reports on (1) variations in the number and position of scleral ossicles in 283 actinopterygian species representing 172 families, (2) the distribution of the morphological variants of these bony elements, (3) the phylogenetic significance of these variations, and (4) a phylogenetic hypothesis relevant to the position of the Callionymoidei, Dactylopteridae, and Syngnathoidei based on these osteological variations. The results suggest that the Callionymoidei (not including the Gobiesocidae), Dactylopteridae, and Syngnathoidei are closely related. This conclusion was based on the apomorphic character state of having only the anterior scleral ossicle. Having only the anterior scleral ossicle should have evolved independently in the Syngnathioidei + Dactylopteridae + Callionymoidei, Gobioidei + Apogonidae, and Pleuronectiformes among the actinopterygians studied in this paper. http://zoolstud.sinica.edu.tw/Journals/51.8/1490.pdf Key words: Scleral ossicle, Actinopterygii, Phylogeny.

  • Fishes of the Deep Demersal Habitat at Ngazidja (Grand Comoro) Island, Western Indian Ocean

Heemstraa*, Karen Hissmannb, Hans Frickeb, Malcolm J. Smalec and Jürgen Schauerb (with hook and line or traps) in the daytime habitat of the coela- canth, we were able to identify 65 species (Table 1). For various Underwater observations of the coelacanth, Latimeria chalumnae reasons, the remaining taxa are identified only to genus or Smith, 1939, from a research submersible provided opportunities family level. Our list of the deep demersal fish at Ngazidja is to study the deep demersal fish fauna at the Comoro Islands. The obviously incomplete, as we made no attempt to collect small demersal habitat in depths of 150–400 m at the volcanic island of cryptic species (e.g. Scorpaenidae, Callionymidae, Draconettidae, Ngazidja is low in fish diversity and biomass, compared with the Percophidae, Epigonidae and Plectranthias). In addition, larger, shallow-water coral reef habitat of Ngazidja or the deep demersal elusive species (e.g. congrid and ophichthid eels and several habitats of other localities in the Indo-Pacific region. The resident species of sharks) that are known to occur at depths of 150–400 m deep demersal fish fauna at Ngazidja is dominated by the coela- in the Western Indian Ocean but have not yet been seen or canth, an ancient predator that is specially adapted for this caught at these depths at Ngazidja are not included in our low-energy environment.

  • Fish Otoliths from the Pre-Evaporitic Early Messinian of Northern Italy: Their Stratigraphic and Palaeobiogeographic Significance

Three of these are new: Diaphus rubus, Myctop- gene and continues until the Pleistocene. hum coppa, and Uranoscopus ciabatta. The assemblages reflect mainly a neritic environment influenced by the oce- Kepords Fishes . Teleostei . Otoliths . Messinian anic realm. Analysis of the global present-day geographic Appearance . Extinction distribution of 42 of the recognised Messinian genera indi- cates that 88% of these are still living in the Mediterranean, 98% in the Atlantic and 78% in the Indo-Pacific realm. Introduction These results are in good agreement with the evolutionary trends documented for the Oligocene and Miocene teleost During the Late Miocene (Tortonian and Messinian), the fauna, specifically an increase in percentage of genera Tethyan Ocean was ultimately closed as result of synoro- inhabiting the modern Mediterranean, a very high percent- genic collisional tectonism, and its Mesozoic and Cenozoic age of Atlantic and Indo-Pacific genera, and a slight fall of sedimentary sequences were deformed and uplifted along the importance of present-day Indo-Pacific genera from the the emerging Alpine-Himalayan orogenic system.
