Cirrhimuraena taiwanensis sp. nov., a new species of cirri-bearing eel (Anguilliformes, Ophichthidae) from Yilan, northeastern Taiwan by Yen-Ting Lin, Yu-Hsiang Lin, Yu-San Han

“…Cirrhimuraena taiwanensis sp. nov. differs from C. odishaensis in having significantly shorter pectoral fins and fewer vertebrae, and it is distinguished from C. orientalis by its larger head, notably more total vertebrae, and a dorsal fin that originates well behind the gill opening. In the neighbor-joining tree based on COI sequences, the new species forms a distinct monophyletic group; thus, it is clearly separable from congeners both morphologically and genetically. …”
