Seven new records of fishes from Indonesia, with discussion of western Indian Ocean fishes in southwestern Indonesia

Abstract

The following seven new records of reef fishes for Indonesia are reported from the southwest coast of Sumatra off Padang and the Mentawai Islands: the serranids Liopropoma africanum (Smith) and Pseudogramma astigmum Randall & Baldwin, the apogonid Fowleria flammea Allen, the pomacentrid Chromis dimidiate (Klunzinger), and the gobiids Amblyeleotris downingi Randall, Bryaninops amplus Larson and Trimma naudei Smith. In addition, we call attention to a previous new Indonesian record of the Indian Ocean chaetodontid Hemitaurichthys zoster (Bennett) from the Mentawai Islands by Suharsono et al. (1995). Other Indonesian records of western Indian Ocean fishes are listed. The range of Pomacentrus xanthostemus Allen is extended from the Seribu Islands in the Java Sea to the Mentawai Islands, and the first illustrations provided of the juvenile and adult.
