摘要

Abstract

Specimens belonging to the family Blenniidae were collected in a fishery resource investigation from the coastal waters of Xisha Islands and Hainan Island

South China Sea in 2016. Combining morphological results with sequence analysis

we identified one specimen as

Xiphasia matsubarai

Okada

Suzuki

1952. This represents a new record in the South China Sea. In morphology

the specimen has the following traits:body elongated

eel-like or ribbon-like in shape; flanks medium flat; the head small bluntly rounded anteriorly and without a moustache; eyes is slightly smaller

on upper lateral position of head

which is about equal to 1/5 of the length of the head; body without scales

lateral line has been degraded; both sides of the upper and lower jaws with a canine; gill is opening at the top of the pectoral fin base

approximately equal to the length of eye diameter. Dorsal fin XI

96; pectoral fin 10; anal fin Ⅱ

95. Head and body grey-brown

including 26 dark grey-brown bands; abdomen and lower operculum yellowish grey and colour lighter; and dorsal base long with dark grey. Origin of dorsal is located over the anterior margin of pupil; black blotch on dorsal fin between 8th and 10th dorsal spine; anal and caudal fins dark grey

pectoral and ventral fins pale yellow. Sequence analysis of cytochrome oxidase subunit Ⅰ gene (

COI

) strongly supports the identity of the specimen as

X. matsubarai
