Taxonomical Review of the Marine Atherinid Fishes from the Indo-Pacific

本文以琉球群岛、日本、印度尼西亚、泰国和菲律宾的野外采集资料和印度太平洋地区（从非洲东海岸到夏威夷、从日本北部到中部、从澳大利亚南部到北部）的博物馆收藏资料（包括模式资料）为基础，对印度太平洋地区的海洋Atherinidae鱼类（骨鱼目：Ateriniformes: Atherinidae）进行了分类综述。所得结果总结如下：1。通过对该属所有名义种的模式资料的分析，发现该属包括11个有效种，1个新种和1个未描述种。通过检查所有属于该属的名义种的模式资料，该属包括5个有效种。Bleeker的Atherina japonica被确定为与H. tsurugae的同种，但前者的名字是Houttuyn的A. japonica的主要谐音。Stenatherina属仅包括一种，S. panatela。本研究共观察到石竹属2种3亚种。舒尔茨所描述的三个亚种的有效性仍不确定。根据上述结果，给出了印度-太平洋海洋石竹科的属和每个属的种的图示键。在本研究的基础上，发表了平齿鱼和格纹鱼的分类学研究结果，其中前者有2个新种和1个首次记录种，后者有2个分类学综述。

The marine atherinid fishes (Osteichthyes : Ateriniformes : Atherinidae) from the Indo-Pacific were reviewed taxonomically, based on the field collections from Ryukyu Islands, Japan, Indonesia, Thailand and Philippines, and the museum collections from all over the Indo-Pacific (from the east coast of Africa to Hawaii, north to central Japan, south to northern Australia) including type materials. Results obtained are summarized as follows :1. The genus Atherinomorus includes 11 valid species with one new species and one undescribed species, by examining the type materials of all nominal species belonging to the genus.2. The genus Hypoatherina includes 5 valid species, by examining the type materials of all nominal species belonging to the genus. Bleeker's Atherina japonica is is identified as the conspecific with H. tsurugae, but the former name is the primary homonym of Houttuyn's A. japonica.3. The genus Stenatherina includes only a single species, S. panatela.4. Two species and three subspecies belonging to the genus Atherion were observed. Validity of the three subspecies described by Shultz is still uncertain.5. From the abovmentioned results, pictorial keys to the genera of Indo-Pacific marine Atherinidae and to the species of each genus were presented.6. As the results from taxonomical studies on the leiognathid and gerrid fishes accompanied with this atherinid study, two new species and one first recorded species of the former, and taxonomical review with two species of the latter were published.
