一种新的蠕虫鳗鱼，Neenchelys nudiceps，是在东印度洋印度尼西亚苏门答腊岛附近深海底部（844-856米）采集的一个大型标本（总长度为782毫米）的基础上描述的。该新种与其同属物种的区别在于以下特征组合：总椎骨221个，下颌孔7个，胸鳍基部前侧线孔18个，口部上侧面光滑，无乳头。此外，通过统计分析表明，该新种不同于Neenchelys daedalus和neenchelyssp这两个相似的种。“相似”，在形态计量学特征中。最近描述的三种同系物的可用性，N。diaphora, N。pelagicaandN。Similisis进行了讨论，并判断这三个物种的名称是不可用的。
A new worm eel,Neenchelys nudiceps, is described on the basis of a single large specimen (782 mm in total length) collected from the deep-sea bottom (844–856 m) off Sumatra, Indonesia, in the eastern Indian Ocean. The new species is distinguishable from its congeners by the following combination of characters: total vertebrae 221, mandibular pores 7, lateral-line pores anterior to pectoral-fin base 18, and upper and lateral surfaces of snout smooth without papillae. Additionally, it is indicated by a statistical analysis that the new species differs from the two similar species,Neenchelys daedalusandNeenchelyssp. “similis”, in morphometric characters. Availability of the three recently described congeners,N. diaphora,N. pelagicaandN. similisis discussed, and it is judged that the three species names are unavailable.
