Taxonomic revision of the Indo-Pacific leiognathid fishes

根据日本、越南、泰国和印度尼西亚的野外采集资料，以及印度-太平洋地区（从非洲东海岸和红海到密克罗尼西亚，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，对印度-太平洋地区的平鳞鱼（直鳞鱼目：鳍形目：平鳞鱼科）进行了分类研究。所得结果总结如下：1。该属在20世纪的分类学上一直处于最混乱的状态，目前共有26个有效种（23个属5个复合体或种群，3个独立种）。这些有效物种包括4种未被描述的物种。一些物种的学名因为它们的同义词被阐明而改变了。对金色拟羊藿、splendens拟羊藿和decorus拟羊藿的分类研究已基本完成。虽然本文对筋膜肌复合体和长形肌复合体进行了初步的修订，但仍需要更详细和深入的研究。最近修订了分类学的加沙和隔离区属重新进行了审查和验证。每属由5个有效种组成。因此，三属三十六种构成了狮蛛科。提供了属和种的关键字，并描述了诊断特征、分布注释和同义词。在未来的研究中，上述复合物有可能形成。在此基础上对海鱼进行了分类研究，并发现了一些属于这些科的新种。

The leiognathid fishes (Osteichthyes : Perciformes : Leiognathidae) from the Indo-Padfic were reviewed taxonomically, based on the field collections from Japan, Vietnam, Thailand and Indonesia, and the museum collections from all over the Indo-Pacific (from the east coast of Africa and Red Sea to Micronesia, north to central Japan, south to northern Australia) including type materials. Results obtained are summarized as follows :1.The genus Leiognathus, having been in the most taxonomical confusion thorough 20th Century, consists of 26 valid species (23 included in 5 complexes, or species groups, and 3 independent species). These valid species include 4 undescribed species. The scientific names in some species changed because their synonymies were elucidated.2.Taxonomical studies have been almost finished on Leiognathus aureus complex, L.splendens complex and L.decorus complex. Although L.fasciatus complex and L.oblongus complex were tentatively revised here, more detailed and intense investigation is still needed.3.The genera Gaza and Secutor having been recently revised taxonomically were reexamined and validated. Each genus consists of 5 valid species.4.Three genera and 36 species, therefore, constitute the family Leiognathidae. Keys to genera and species were provided, and diagnostic characters, distributional notes and synonyms were described in the report.5.The abovementioned complexes possibly become genera by the future study.6.Taxonomical studies on the marine fishes, e.g.Atherinidae and Gerreidae, were conducted accompanied with this study, and a few new species belonging to these families were described.
