海鳕科是一个小型的海洋鱼类。它们与虾虎鱼科（Gobiidae）和尖吻虾虎鱼科（Oxuderplaceae）形成姊妹分类群，与这些科的大多数物种的区别在于有六条鳃骨条和一个连接舌骨弓和第一角鳃的膜。在这里，我们使用micro-CT信息形态学数据和分子生物学描述了一个新的属和种的thalasseleotridid发现的热带海洋珊瑚礁在珊瑚海中部。Tempestichthys bettyaegen。et sp. nov.是第一个热带海塘鳢科的物种，与其他海塘鳢科的成员不同之处在于其腭部呈T形，且具有独特的形状和颜色。先前描述的三种海生石龙子是澳大利亚南部和新西兰温带沿海沃茨特有的，都是半透明的棕色，头背腹扁平。然而，Tempestichthys bettyaeis侧面扁平，有一个尖吻，是半透明的白色，有不透明的白色和深红色的斑纹，大部分是深红色的虹膜。我们讨论了这个新属的独特特征，包括它的分布，形式，颜色和微小的大小，并强调了在Thalasseleotrididae.http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:3F584DD6-0B33-4E69-98A7-22D68EE1A1B8中存在未描述的多样性的潜力。
The Thalasseleotrididae is a small family of exclusively marine gobioids. They form a sister taxon to the Gobiidae and Oxudercidae and are distinguished from most species in these families by having six branchiostegal rays and a membrane linking the hyoid arch to the first ceratobranchial. Here we use micro-CT informed morphological data and molecular phylogenetics to describe a new genus and species of thalasseleotridid discovered on a tropical oceanic coral reef in the central Coral Sea.Tempestichthys bettyaegen. et sp. nov. is the first tropical thalasseleotridid and differs from other members of the Thalasseleotrididae by having a T-shaped palatine and a distinctive shape and colouration. The three previously described thalasseleotridid species are endemic to temperate coastal waters of southern Australia and New Zealand and are all translucent brown with dorsoventrally compressed heads. However,Tempestichthys bettyaeis laterally compressed with a pointed snout and is translucent white with opaque white and crimson red markings and a largely crimson iris. We discuss the unique characters of this new genus, including its distribution, form, colouration and diminutive size, and highlight the potential of there being undescribed diversity in the Thalasseleotrididae.http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:3F584DD6-0B33-4E69-98A7-22D68EE1A1B8
