The genus Lampris (Lampridae) currently comprises two species, Lampris guttatus (Brünnich 1788) and L. immaculatus (Gilchrist 1905) commonly known as Opah and Southern Opah, respectively. Hyde et al. (2014) presented DNA sequence data which revealed the presence of five distinct, monophyletic lineages within L. guttatus. In this paper, we present morphological and meristic data supporting the presence of five species previously subsumed within L. guttatus (Brünnich 1788). We restrict Lampris guttatus (Brünnich 1788), resurrect L. lauta (Lowe 1838), and describe three new species of Lampris. A key to the species of Lampris is provided.
月鱼属(月鱼科)目前包含两个物种,即斑点月鱼(Lampris guttatus,布吕尼希,1788年)和无斑月鱼(L. immaculatus,吉尔克里斯特,1905年),通常分别称为月鱼和南月鱼。海德等人(2014年)展示的DNA序列数据表明,斑点月鱼内部存在五个不同的单系谱系。在本文中,我们提供了形态学和分节特征数据,支持将先前归入斑点月鱼(布吕尼希,1788年)的五个物种区分开来。我们将斑点月鱼限定为(布吕尼希,1788年),恢复洛氏月鱼(L. lauta,洛威,1838年),并描述了月鱼属的三个新物种。还提供了月鱼属物种的检索表。
