- Description
- Online version of original print edition of the Special Publication of the J.L.B. Smith Institute of Ichthyology; No. 34, Two new species of syngnathine (tail-pouch) pipefishes sharing a continuous median dorsal snout ridge, a short snout (its length more than 2 in HL), presence of lateral spines or ridges on the snout, dermal flaps on the eye, 14 trunk rings and ca. 21-23 dorsal-fin rays are described and illustrated. Halicampus zavorensis is distinguished by a linear and distally spinulose dorsal snout ridge, two lateral spines on the snout and 36-37 tail rings. In H. marquesensis, the arcuate and partly denticulate dorsal snout ridge is paralleled distally by a bilateral pair of ridges which originate on the interorbital, there is a vestigial lateral ridge on the snout, and there are 39-40 tail rings. These pipefishes are compared to other species presently referred to the genus Halicampus Kaup.
