Abstract

The slender snake eel genus from Taiwan is reviewed, and a total of four species are recognized, including a new species described here. is described based on four specimens collected from western Taiwan. It can be distinguished from congeners by the dorsal-fin origin situated above the gill opening, the tip of lower jaw not reaching the base of the anterior-nostril tube, 1 + 3 supraorbital pores, 7-8 predorsal vertebrae, and 147-152 total vertebrae. Two rare species, Bleeker, 1858 and Norman, 1939, are redescribed based on specimens newly collected from Taiwan. A key to all species found in Taiwan is provided.

摘要

对台湾的细蛇鳗属进行了综述，共确认了4个物种，包括本文描述的一个新物种。新物种基于从台湾西部采集的4个标本进行描述。它可通过以下特征与同属其他物种区分开来：背鳍起点位于鳃孔上方，下颌尖端未到达前鼻孔管基部，有1 + 3个眶上孔，7 - 8个背前椎骨，以及147 - 152个总椎骨。基于新采集的台湾标本，对两种稀有物种，即1858年的布氏细蛇鳗和1939年的诺曼细蛇鳗进行了重新描述。还提供了台湾所有细蛇鳗物种的检索表。
