伪juloides迷宫是一种令人兴奋的新铅笔新物种,来自西印度洋。迷宫铅笔wrass加入了新鲜的作物Pseudojuloides近年来已经描述的扭曲,其中许多是由水族馆的同伴发现的。
Jason Edward of Greenwich Aquaria has been a pioneer in procuring rare and unusual fish for going on a decade now, being one of the first to bring us such saltwater aquarium hits likePlectranthias pelicieri,P. nanus,Joculator angels,Vivienne的豹子,Rose Island dottyback, 还有很多,beforethey were cool in the hobby.
More recently, Jason has sought out to discover unknown marine fish from obscure parts of the world. His efforts have resulted in the discovery of an unusual species of从毛里求斯卧铺虾虎鱼, and some great pictures of a still undescribed flasher wrasse from Kenya,Cirrhilabrus sp. 3. Furthermore, prior to today’s unveiling Jason’s work has resulted in two new species of pencil wrasses that have been described,Pseudojuloides edwardi和Pseudojuloides zeus.
如果您想到了宙斯铅笔的双电动闪电条纹令人兴奋,那是新的Pseudojuloides labyrinthusis even more exciting. The new labyrinth pencil wrasse has at least three neon blue stripes the length of its body and is contrasted nicely with a yellow-green base body coloration.
Pseudojuloides labyrinthusis most closely related toP. edwardi, both of which are found in Kenya in the Western Indian Ocean, and females of both species are mostly pink with a slightly reddish colored head and face and a white upper jaw. The new Labyrinth pencil wrasse is described by Victor & Edward in the most recent volume of the Journal of Ocean Science Foundation. [JOSF]
