摘要

Abstract

Nine morphologically similar but genetically distinct lineages in the blue-spotted maskray species complex

previously

Neotrygon kuhlii

(Müller and Henle) qualify as cryptic species. Four of these lineages have been previously described as

Neotrygon australiae

Last

White and Séret

Neotrygon caeruleopunctata

Last

White and Séret

Neotrygon orientale

Last

White and Séret

and

Neotrygon varidens

(Garman)

but the morphological characters used in the descriptions offered poor diagnoses and their geographic distributions were not delineated precisely. The objective of the present work is to complete the description of the cryptic species in the complex. Here

an additional four lineages are described as new species on the basis of their mitochondrial DNA sequences:

Neotrygon bobwardi

whose distribution extends from the northern tip of Aceh to the western coast of Sumatera;

Neotrygon malaccensis

sampled from the eastern part of the Andaman Sea and from the Malacca Strait;

Neotrygon moluccensis

from the eastern half of the Banda Sea; and

Neotrygon westpapuensis

from the central portion of northern West Papua. The geographic distributions of

N. australiae

N. coeruleopunctata

N. orientale

and

N. varidens

are updated. For each species

a diagnosis is provided in the form of a combination of private or partly-private nucleotides at 2-4 nucleotide sites along a 519-base pair fragment of the

CO1

gene. We believe that the present taxonomic revision will provide information relevant to the sound management and conservation of cryptic species of the blue-spotted maskray in the Coral Triangle region.
