A new species of congrid eel, Bathycongrus villosus sp. nov., is described from the Philippines and Vanuatu. It is similar to some of the small-toothed species currently placed in Bathycongrus and to the species of Bassanago. In this paper we compare the new species to Bassanago albescens (Barnard, 1923) and to Bathycongrus parviporus Karmovskaya, 2011, which it most closely resembles. An analysis of 19 characters shows that it agrees with Bat. parviporus in 16 characters and with Bas. albescens in one. In two characters, the three species are all different. We therefore place it in Bathycongrus.
一种新的康吉鳗科鳗鱼，绒毛深海康吉鳗（Bathycongrus villosus sp. nov.），在菲律宾和瓦努阿图被发现并被描述。它与目前置于深海康吉鳗属中的一些小齿物种以及巴桑康吉鳗属的物种相似。在本文中，我们将该新物种与白巴桑康吉鳗（Bassanago albescens，Barnard，1923年）以及与之最为相似的2011年发现的小孔深海康吉鳗（Bathycongrus parviporus）进行了比较。对19个特征的分析表明，它与小孔深海康吉鳗在16个特征上一致，与白巴桑康吉鳗在1个特征上一致。在两个特征上，这三个物种均不相同。因此，我们将其归入深海康吉鳗属。
