dc.description.abstract | Taxonomic analysis of a group of morphologically similar ponyfishes (Perciformes: Leiognathidae) establishes a complex comprising three valid species: Leiognathus aureus Abe and Haneda, 1972, widely distributed in the western Pacific Ocean (Taiwan, Philippines, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, and northern Australia); L. hataii Abe and Haneda, 1972, currently known only from Ambon, Indonesia; and L. panayensis sp. nov. Kimura and Dunlap, currently known only from Panay Island, the Philippines. The L. aureus complex can be defined by the following combination of characters: mouth protruding forward, not downward; small but sharp conical teeth uniserially on jaws; a black line between lower margin of eye and lower jaw articulation; and lateral line incomplete, ending below posterior part of dorsal fin base or on anterior caudal peduncle. Leiognathus hataii differs from both L. aureus and L. panayensis in having a large dark blotch below the spinous dorsal fin base and fewer counts of scales (lateral line scales 50–58 vs. 64–85 in the latter two species; scales above lateral line 7–10 vs. 12–18; scales below lateral line 22–26 vs. 30–41). Leiognathus panayensis is distinguished from L. aureus in having a deeper body (41–51% SL vs. 35–45% SL in the latter), long posterior limb of maxilla (21–25% HL vs. 15–23% HL), wholly scaled belly (vs. naked along preanal median keel), and a dark blotch on nape (vs. absent). | en |
dc.description.sponsorship | We are deeply indebted to K. Mochizuki (Natural History Museum and Institute, Chiba, Japan) and T. Yoshino (URM) for providing critical support to S.K. for the study of leiognathids, to M. Hayashi (YCM) and K. Matsuura (NSMT) for opportunities to examine Haneda’s and Abe’s collections, and to K. Sakamoto (ZUMT) for providing important information on the types of Leiognathus aureus and L. hataii. J. Ledesma (Tigbauan, Iloilo, Philippines) provided invaluable assistance in the collection of fish. We are grateful to the following persons and institutions for specimen loans: M. McGrouther (AMS); K.-T. Shao (ASIZ); J. Maclaine (BMNH); A. Graham (CSIRO); Y. Iwatsuki (MUFS); G. Shinohara (NSMT); D.W. Nelson (UMMZ); J.M. Clayton (USNM), and P.K.L. Ng and K.K.P. Lim (ZRC). We also thank T. Yamashita and T. Ito (previous students of FRLM) for their help in examination of Abe’s collection. This study was supported in part by Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C) awarded to S.K. by the Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C) of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (14540642), by the Core University Program of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (Biodiversity Studies in the coastal areas of South East Asia), and by a grant to P.V.D. from the University of Michigan Center for Japanese Studies. | en |
