It was tested on freshwater pipefish, as external tissue sampling is made difficult by the lack of scales, the lack of pelvic fins, the atrophy of pectoral and anal fins. The internal tissue is detached by scratching the inside of the urogenital papilla with a fine metallic probe. 95\% ethanol is injected using a fine syringe, and then sucked back into the syringe with the detached tissue. this protocol has been tested on 6 specimens from 5 species of pipefish. For each specimen DNA was extracted from the internal tissue, a caudal fin clip, and when possible, eggs sampled from the male brooding pouch. Partial Cytochrome c oxydase I (COI) was amplified and sequenced. For each specimen, the 582 bp long sequences obtained from the internal tissue, the fin clip and the eggs were identical. These results validate this non-damaging internal tissue sampling method, which leaves absolutely no trace on the specimen. Although this method was developed on pipefish, it could be applied to other teleostean, even precious museum collection specimens such as type specimens. the aim of this paper, using the example of freshwater pipefish, is to present this method, which aims at preserving precious collection specimens while still valorising them.}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.26028/cybium/2020-441-010}, author = {Vincent Ha{\"y} and Marion Mennesson and Agn{\`e}s Dettai and C{\'e}line Bonillo and Philippe Keith and Clara Lord} } @article {6043, title = {A new species of Sicyopus (Teleostei: Gobiidae) from New Britain (Papua New Guinea)}, journal = {Cybium}, volume = {43}, year = {2019}, pages = {163-167}, abstract = {

A new species of Sicyopus, a sicydiine goby, is described from specimens collected in streams of New Britain (Papua New Guinea). It differs from other species of this amphidromous genus by a combination of characters including a second dorsal fin with one spine and ten segmented rays, fewer scales in lateral series and transverse back series, and smaller predorsal and caudal peduncle lengths.

Since 1861, freshwater fishes have been studied at different periods in New Caledonia. The first list was published in 1915, but the
major inventories were done between 1998 and 2003. These inventories allowed the discovery of many new species and the publication,
in 2003, of the Atlas of Freshwater fish and crustaceans of New Caledonia, which listed 64 freshwater fish species. Between 2004
and 2010, additional specific surveys were conducted by the MNHN and 9 species were added. Among them, 3 were new for science.
Gobiidae family represents 30\% of the freshwater fishes of New Caledonia. This high percentage is explained by their particular life
cycle adapted to insular systems.

The Sicydiinae subfamily (Teleostei: Gobioidei) is the biggest contributor to the diversity of fish communities in river systems of tropical islands. These species are found in the Indo-Pacific area, the Caribbean region and West Africa. They spawn in freshwater, their planktotrophic larvae drift downstream to the sea where they develop, before returning to the rivers to grow and reproduce. Hence, they are called amphidromous. Their phylogeny has been explored using a total of 3545 sites from 5 molecular markers (mitochondrial DNA: 16S rDNA, cytochrome oxidase I, cytochrome b; nuclear DNA: rhodopsin gene and a nuclear marker specially developed for this study, the interferon regulatory factor 2 binding protein 1-IRF2PB1). Sequences were obtained for 59 Sicydiinae specimens of 9 known genera. The Bayesian and maximum likelihood analyses support the monophyly of the subfamily as well as the monophylyof all genera except Sicydium, which is paraphyletic. Five major clades were identified within this subfamily. One clade contained the genus Stiphodon. Another clade contained Sicyopterus, Sicydium and Parasicydium with Sicyopterus as sister genus of Sicydium. The non-monophyly of Sicydium subclade, because it includes the monotypic genus Parasicydium, challenged the validity of Parasicydium genus. Ancestral area reconstruction showed that the subfamily emerged in the Central West Pacific region implying that previous hypotheses proposing a dispersal route for Sicydiinae into the Atlantic Ocean are unsupported by the present analysis. Our results suggest that the hypotheses for the dispersal route of the genus Sicydium should be reconsidered.
