| Abstract | A new species of Coelonotus, a freshwater pipefish, is described on the basis of six specimens from the Gavuvu river of West new Britain Island (Papua new Guinea). It differs from other Coelonotus species by a combination of morphomeristic values including: number of dorsal fin rays (45-47), number of subdorsal (4-5) and tail rings (35-37). the Folmer dna barcode fragment of the COI mitochondrial gene shows that this new species is indeed a different genetic lineage from other Coelonotus species of this area. |
