It can be distinguished from all other chaudhuriids by the complete lack of pectoral fins and ribs, and by the combination of 37 + 33 vertebrae, 31 dorsal-, 33 anal-, and six caudal fin rays. Introduction During fieldwork in Kachin State, northern My- anmar, a small chaudhuriid was collected from The earthworm eels, family Chaudhuriidae, are a sun-exposed muddy pool and on superficial small eel-like freshwater fishes distributed from inspection thought to be P. kachinica.

INTRODUCTION The South Asian Mastacembeloid fish family Chaudhuridae is popularly called as earthworm eels and this family includes six genera eight species. They are small, living in buried riparian vegetation and in bottom substrate or with substrate mixed with fine sand and clay. They differ externally from the family Mastacembelidae in having only soft fin instead of spines anteriorly in dorsal and anal fins [3] and the distributional range of this family is from Brahmaputra river basin, India.

  • Percomorph Phylogeny: a Survey of Acanthomorphs and a New Proposal
    BULLETIN OF MARINE SCIENCE, 52(1): 554-626, 1993 PERCOMORPH PHYLOGENY: A SURVEY OF ACANTHOMORPHS AND A NEW PROPOSAL G. David Johnson and Colin Patterson ABSTRACT The interrelationships of acanthomorph fishes are reviewed. We recognize seven mono- phyletic terminal taxa among acanthomorphs: Lampridiformes, Polymixiiformes, Paracan- thopterygii, Stephanoberyciformes, Beryciformes, Zeiformes, and a new taxon named Smeg- mamorpha. The Percomorpha, as currently constituted, are polyphyletic, and the Perciformes are probably paraphyletic. The smegmamorphs comprise five subgroups: Synbranchiformes (Synbranchoidei and Mastacembeloidei), Mugilomorpha (Mugiloidei), Elassomatidae (Elas- soma), Gasterosteiformes, and Atherinomorpha. Monophyly of Lampridiformes is justified elsewhere; we have found no new characters to substantiate the monophyly of Polymixi- iformes (which is not in doubt) or Paracanthopterygii. Stephanoberyciformes uniquely share a modification of the extrascapular, and Beryciformes a modification of the anterior part of the supraorbital and infraorbital sensory canals, here named Jakubowski's organ. Our Zei- formes excludes the Caproidae, and characters are proposed to justify the monophyly of the group in that restricted sense. The Smegmamorpha are thought to be monophyletic principally because of the configuration of the first vertebra and its intermuscular bone. Within the Smegmamorpha, the Atherinomorpha and Mugilomorpha are shown to be monophyletic elsewhere. Our Gasterosteiformes includes the syngnathoids and the Pegasiformes

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Chaudhuria ritvae, new species, from the lower Ayeyarwaddy River Drainage, southern Myanmar, is distinguished from C. caudata by a greater number of caudal vertebrae, shorter jaws, larger and broader ribs, neural arches of vertebrae without fenestration, absence of spots associated with base of dorsal- and anal-fin rays, sparse body pigmentation consisting of only minute widely separated melanophores, and absence of pigmentation along pectoral-fin rays. It differs from its only other congener, C. fusipinnis, by having the dorsal and anal fins separate from the caudal fin, by a smaller number of dorsal- and anal-fin rays, by a greater number of caudal-fin rays and by the presence of teeth on hypobranchial 3. Key words: Taxonomy; Mastacembeloidei; Irrawaddy delta; small size Introduction Earthworm eels of the family Chaudhuriidae are small, very elongate, fin spine-less percomorphs that live among dense aquatic vegetation and leaf litter in standing or slowly flowing waters of small streams, lakes and ponds in India, Indochina and the Sunda islands (Annandale 1918; Kottelat & Lim 1994; Kullander et al. 2000). Currently, the family comprises the following nine species in six genera: Chaudhuria caudata Annandale 1918, C. fusipinnis Kottelat & Britz in Kottelat 2000, Pillaia indica Yazdani 1972; P.
