plectranthias polygoniusandP. hinano是我们最喜欢的矮bass子中的两个新物种,而且好事也是好东西,因为在世界深处的水域中似乎有很多东西可以找到。这两个新美女来自法属波利尼西亚和中太平洋的马歇尔群岛共和国。
Both of these new serranids are reminiscent of species we’ve seen before, either from descriptions of a super exotic, far flung species and the other is quite similar to the popular Geometric Pygmy ‘hawkfish’ that are common in the saltwater aquarium world. The first one,plectranthias hinano与Plectranthias bennettidescribed from the Coral Sea several years ago;
Interestingly the body coloration ofP. hinanois nearly identical to Bennett’sPlectranthiasbut where the latter has a completely clear dorsal fin, the former has some degree of yellow coloring and a dark black spot in the center of the dorsal fin base. The hinano Plectranthias was collected in Tahiti and Moorea in French Polynesia,at a depth of 90 to 98 meters or just around 300 feet deep.
在马歇尔群岛也看到了其他来自法属波利尼西亚的物种Plectranthias Polygonius,也是一种深厚的中吞噬物种。这款珠宝是从大溪地的105米(345英尺)和Maloelap环礁的120米(393英尺)收集的,其外观非常独特。
白色的身体被非常吸引人的红色正方形或多边形打断,背面和肛门鳍的亮点以及脸上的黄色条纹。这种“几何”模式在某种程度上让人联想到普通的plectranthias inermis,它也有一个非常突出的伸长背鳍尖峰。
plectranthias polygoniusandP. hinano代表这种丰富而多样的礁鱼的第四和第五种新物种今年并将该属中的物种总数达到高达58。每当深水潜水的鱼类学家潜水中的中虫礁在世界新地区,他们几乎总是总是想出新的Plectranthias物种,我们迫不及待地想看看该组将发现哪些有趣的形状和颜色。[[动物园这是给予的
