- Description
- Online version of original print edition of the Special Publication of the J.L.B. Smith Institute of Ichthyology; No. 63, Three species of the Apogon bandanensis group are found in the Red Sea, the widespread Apogon guamensis, the endemic Apogon annularis, and a new endemic species Apogon zebrinus. Colour patterns, number of gill-rakers, body depth, second anal spine length, pectoral-fin length, and caudal peduncle depth are important aids for identification of the Red Sea species. Two synonyms of Apogon guamensis were based on juvenile material: Apogon ocellatus from Madagascar and Apogon spongicolus from the Red Sea. Rüppell’s, Günther’s and Klausewitz’s concepts of Apogon annularis are reviewed. Apogon erdmani is a synonym of Apogon annularis. Apogon savayensis and another wide spread new species were not found in any Red Sea collections we examined.
