- Description: A historical resume of fish collecting in the Maldive Islands is presented, beginning with the collection o f J. Stanley Gardiner in 1899-1900. Specimens of Maldives fishes have been examined at the Marine Research Section of the Ministry of Fisheries and Agriculture, Republic of Maldives and the five museums which house most of the fishes that have been collected in the islands: the Natural History Museum, London; Bernice P. Bishop Museum, Honolulu; California Academy of Sciences, San Francisco; Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago; and the Senckenberg Museum, Frankfurt. A total of 899 species of epipelagic and shore fishes are recorded from the Maldives; 201 of these are new records for the islands. Thirty-two of the 899 are recorded by generic name only. Some of these could not be identified to species due to poor condition or to their being juveniles, but most appear to be undescribed. , Rhodes University Libraries (Digitisation)

Acanthurus tristis, a valid Indian Ocean surgeonfish (Perciformes: Acanthuridae)

- Description: Online version of original print edition of the Special Publication of the J.L.B. Smith Institute of Ichthyology; No. 54 , After examination of Col. Tickell’s unpublished manuscript and colour paintings of Burmese fishes, Day (1888) listed the surgeonfish Acanthurus tristis Tickell as a synonym of A. tennentii Gunther (1861); he gave the dorsal-fin spine count of 8 and provided a colour description, including mention of a white margin on the caudal fin. Of the species of Acanthurus, only A. pyroferus Kittlitz from the Pacific has 8 dorsal spines. Randall (1956a) treated tristis as a synonym of this pecies; the differences in colouration between tristis and pyroferus were regarded as within the range of variability of the latter. Both forms were observed together in Bali in 1982-1991. A. tristis is therefore regarded as a valid species and is redescribed. In the interest of stability of nomenclature, a neotype for A. tristis is designated.
