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

根据琉球群岛、日本、印度尼西亚、泰国和菲律宾的野外标本，以及印度-太平洋各地(从非洲东海岸到夏威夷、日本北部到中部、澳大利亚南部到北部)的博物馆藏品，对印度-太平洋地区的海生金枪鱼(骨鱼目：蝶形目：Atherinidae)进行了分类综述。主要研究结果如下：1.通过对该属所有命名种的模式材料进行分析，发现该属共有11个有效种，其中1个新种，1个未记述种。通过对该属所有命名种的模式材料的研究，发现该属包括5个有效种。Bleeker‘s Atherina Japan onica被鉴定为与H.tsurugae同种，但前者是Houttuyn’s A.Japan onic.的主要同音异名。Stenatherina属只包括一个种，S.panatela.观察到Atherion属的2个种和3个亚种。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，给出了印度洋-太平洋海洋Atherinidae属和各属种的图像检索表。结合本研究的结果，发表了两个新种和一个新记录种，并对其中两个新种和两个新记录种进行了分类综述。

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.
