- Description
- The liparidid fishes collected in the Southern Ocean by the U.S. Navy vessel “Eltanin” were reviewed in an unpublished M.Sc. thesis by the junior author (Tompkins, 1977). These collections include several hundred specimens, of which 134, representing at least 10 species of the genus Paraliparis, have been re-examined by the senior author and are the subject of the present paper. Descriptions are given for five new species of Antarctic Paraliparis: P. anarthractae, P. andriashevi, P. eltanini, P. incognita, and P. fuscolingua. Four of the new species are illustrated; the fifth (P. incognita) was illustrated by Andriashev (1986: Fig. 59) as P. terraenovae Regan, 1916. P. edentatus Andriashev, 1986 is synonymized with P. terraenovae, and additional data on this species are presented. A probable new species of Paraliparis is diagnosed but not named due to the poor condition of the single specimen. New records of five other rare species (P. antarcticus Regan P. devriesi Andriashev, P. meganchus Andriashev, P. stehmanni Andriashev, and P. tetrapteryx Andriashev) are discussed.
