ON THE IDENTITY OF THE MANGROVE CRAB, PARACLEISTOSTOMA ERIOPHORUM NOBILI, 1903 (CRUSTACEA: BRACHYURA: CAMPTANDRIIDAE)

Rueangrit Promdam

A colourful crab currently referred to as Parasesarma indiarum (Tweedie, 1940) is a relatively common species in Southeast Asian mangroves and has been recorded from Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia. The present study compares the material from Singapore and Peninsular Malaysia to the type specimens from Ambon, and recognises two species based on their morphology and genetic distances. The structure of the chelar dactylar tubercles and molecular data support the distinction of specimens originating from Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore from those of Ambon corresponding to P. indiarum sensu stricto. We here describe them as a separate species, Parasesarma peninsulare new species, and compare it with allied congeners.

A new species of the gecarcinucid crab genus Phricotelphusa Alcock, 1909 is described from a mountain in Phatthalung, Peninsular Thailand. The new species is arboreal and has very long ambulatory legs and superficially resembles P. aedes from Nakhon Si Thammarat, Peninsular Thailand, but can easily be distinguished by live colouration, carapace features, as well as structures of the epistome and male first gonopod. This is the first report of an arboreal freshwater crab in Thailand.

Ng, e-mail: dbsngkl@nus.edu.sg ABSTRACT: The identity of the poorly known camptandriid mangrove crab Paracleistostoma eriophorum Nobili, 1903, is clarified. It is shown to be a senior synonym of Paracleistostoma tweediei Tan & Humpherys, 1995, and the taxonomy of the species is discussed, with the range of the species extended to Thailand. Notes on its ecology are also provided. INTRODUCTION The camptandriid genus Paracleistostoma De Man, 1895, is currently represented by eight species (Rahayu & Ng, 2003; Ng et al., 2008). Ng et al. (2008: 233, 234) commented that the poorly known Paracleistostoma eriophorum Nobili, 1903, was actually a senior synonym of Paracleistostoma tweediei Tan & Humpherys, 1995, but did not elaborate. We here redescribe and figure the type of Paracleistostoma eriophorum Nobili, 1903, and comment on its taxonomic relationships. MATERIALS AND METHODS The terminology follows that in Tan & Ng (1999). Measurements provided, in millimetres, are of the carapace length and width respectively. Specimens are deposited in the Museo Regionale di Scienze Naturali (MZUT), Sezione di Zoologia, Turin, Italy; Zoological Reference Collection (ZRC) of the Raffles Museum of Biodiversity Research, National University of Singapore, Singapore; Phuket Marine Biological Centre (PMBC), Phuket, Thailand; and Queensland Museum (QM), Brisbane, Australia.

G1 recurved, apex large, globular, with short but distinct submedian spine-like distal appendage. Remarks. - Nobili’s (1903) description of Paracleistostoma eriophorum was relatively detailed but he did not provide a figure. He distinguished P. eriophorum from P. depressum and P. cristatum by the unusually tomentose ambulatory legs and the presence of two carinae of long granules on the inferior and superior margins of the outer surface of the cheliped palm. Nobili (1903) also mentioned that the posterior carapace, including the median branchial region and the area around the intestinal region, bears a thick, short felt like tomentum, and the ambulatory legs were covered with long, woolly setae with the dactyli bearing sulci and setae. From his comparisons, Serène (1974:64) noted “... it is possible that eriophorum is a Leipocten or Baruna”. After examining the type, there is no doubt that P. eriophorum is a species of Paracleistostoma. As noted by Ng et al. (2008), P. eriophorum Nobili, 1903, is a senior synonym of P. tweediei Tan & Humpherys (1995). The type specimens of both species are of similar size, and agree closely in all characters. The holotype male of P. eriophorum is not in a good condition (Fig. 1A) with most of the appendages detached. Most of the setae on the carapace have also been lost, although one can discern where the main setose areas were (Fig. 1A). The distal part of the G1 of the holotype male is somewhat less swollen (Fig. 2H, I) compared to the recent material (Fig. 1C), but this is almost certainly because of its age and some dehydration. Paracleistostoma eriophorum appears to be close to P. depressum and is distinguished from all its congeners by the unique structure of the G1, which has the distal appendage modified to form a spine like process. It is one of the two Paracleistostoma species having the inner ventral edge of the carpus lined with sharp granules, the only other Paracleistostoma species exhibiting this condition being P. longimanum. Also, in P. eriophorum, the ridge below the infraorbital margin is formed by a raised line of granules. This condition is also found in P. wardi. Neither Nobili (1903) nor Tan & Humpherys (1991) described the epistome and the anterior sternal structure, and these are included in the present description (Fig. 2C, D). Only one female specimen of this species (from Thailand) is known. It closely resembles the male in all nonsexual features except that the chelae are even more slender, and the patches of setae on the posterolateral regions are less clearly demarcated, partially because there are also short setae on the dorsal parts of the carapace which are normally glabrous in males. The female abdomen is subcircular, covers the thoracic sternum, and all the somites and telson are mobile. Harminto (1988) recorded this species as P. wardi (Rathbun, 1926). His specimens were examined and compared with Australian specimens of P. wardi in the ZRC and were found to differ significantly from the latter species in terms of the structures of the G1, epistome and male cheliped carpus. Tan & Ng (1994) had incorrectly recorded this species as P. wardi in their list of mangrove Brachyura. The figure of the frontal region and abdomen provided by Tan & Humpherys (1995) is somewhat inaccurate in that the inner infraorbital tooth is not clearly shown (Tan & Humpherys, 1995: Fig. 2A) and the sutures between abdominal segments 3–5 are shown to be present as notches 5 Identity of the mangrove crab on either side of the abdomen (Tan & Humpherys, 1995: Fig. 2G). In fact, only the suture between somites 3 and 4 is visible as a notch on either side of the abdomen. The above features are refigured here (Fig. 2A, B). As discussed by Ng et al. (2008), there is a nomenclatural problem with the names Paracleistostoma tweediei Tan & Humpherys, 1995, and Paracleistostoma tweediei Tan & Ng, 1995. Ng et al. (2008: 234) noted that “Both are objective synonyms as they are based on the same holotype. The problem arose because C. G. S. Tan and P. K. L. Ng originally intended to publish the new species, and the paper was prepared for a regional symposium in 1994 (Tan & Ng, 1995). At the same time, P. J. F. Davie and A. Humpherys had independently also discovered the species. As it was clear that the two taxa in question were conspecific, P. J. F. Davie and P. K. L. Ng left it to C. G. S. Tan and A. Humpherys to finish the new species description on their own (Tan & Humpherys, 1995). In early 1995, P. K. L. Ng asked the editors of the symposium volume to have the paragraph on the new Paracleistostoma in their paper deleted, but although they agreed, the changes were not made, no proofs were sent, and the volume was published in 1995 with the problem paragraph still intact. This mistake nevertheless validates P. tweediei C. G. S. Tan & Ng, 1995. In any case, the symposium article came out later than the paper in the Raffles Bulletin of Zoology. Since the symposium volume did not have a publication date, under the Code, it should be regarded as published on 31 December 2005. This gives P. tweediei C. G. S. Tan & Humpherys, 1995, priority over P. tweediei C. G. S. Tan & Ng, 1995.” Ecology. - In Perak, Malaysia, Paracleistostoma eriophorum was collected from the Matang mangroves along with specimens of P. depressum and the varunid Metaplax elegans De Man, 1888. These were all found in burrows in soft, brown mud, close to the edge of the river. In the Khanom District, Thailand, P. eriophorum were found in mangrove habitats near rivers, with burrows typically occurring in the areas between nearby mangrove trees. Sympatric species there, include the sesarmids Episesarma palawanense (Rathbun, 1914), Parasesarma ungulatum (H. Milne Edwards, 1853), Perisesarma eumolpe (De Man, 1895) and P. indiarum (Tweedie, 1940). Distribution. - Buntal, Sarawak, East Malaysia; Brunei, Peninsular Malaysia, Singapore, and now for the first time from the eastern coast of Thailand.

Chakratong Tongyai from the Andaman Sea during the BIOSHELF project surveys of the west coast of Thailand in 1996–2000. Based on Ng and Davie (2002), and Naiyanetr (2007), the species as well as the genera had not been previously reported from Thai waters. The present report serves to formally record these species, as well as to discuss variation in adult and juvenile specimens.

Remarks Cyrtomaia suhmii was described by Miers (1886) on the basis of an imperfect crushed young male specimen collected from Talaud Islands (Tulur 10 Phuket mar. biol. Cent. Res. Bull. Islands) (see Guinot & Richer de Forges 1982b: 22, fig. 10), Indonesia, by the Challenger Expedition. Subsequently, Cyrtomaia suhmii curviceros Bouvier, 1915, was described from Japan and recognized as a distinct species by Sakai (1976). The status of C. curviceros has long been uncertain. Griffin and Tranter (1986) treated both names as synonyms, while Richer de Forges and Guinot (1982a, 1988) argued that it may be a good species. Ng and Huang (1997) treated Taiwanese material of the species as C. curviceros (see also Ng et al., 2001), and until recently, was still regarded as a distinct species (see Richer de Forges and Ng, 2007). In their annotated checklist of extant brachyuran crabs of the world, Ng et al. (2008) treated C. suhmii curviceros as a synonym of C. suhmii but without comments. Examination of more material of other allied species like C. griffini Richer de Forges & Ng, 1990, has shown that the characters used to separate C. curviceros from C. suhmii are not valid at the species level (P. K. L. Ng, pers. comm., see also Richer de Forges and Ng, 2008). Specimens of various sizes were collected from the same Thai locality. The young specimens are similar to the original description and figure of C. suhmii by Guinot and Richer de Forges (1982b: 22, 23, fig. 10, 11A, B), especially with regards to the protogastric spines which are divergent (Miers, 1886: 16, pl. 3, fig. 2). On the other hand, large male specimens resemble C. curviceros (Fig. 1, 2D–F), although the number of the spines on the basal antennal article is slightly different. This difference, however, is not significant and can easily be explained by variation. The present series of specimens confirm that the differences which have been observed in the past between these two species are due to size and age, and that C. suhnii curviceros Bouvier, 1915, clearly is a junior synonym of C. suhmii Miers, 1886.

S. C. Aungtonya & V. Vongpanich, 18.02.2000 Diagnosis Carapace tranversly subcircular, surface nearly smooth in adults, rostral spine subequal to interantennular spine, preocular spine absent; protogastric ridge with 2 tubercles, lacking spines (in adults); groove on each side of mesogastric region deep, clearly separating adjacent branchial regions; palm of male chelipeds more than twice as long as high, distally increasing in width; propodus of ambulatory legs flattened, 7.5 times width of fourth ambulatory leg. Remarks Platymaia alcocki can sometimes be misidentified with P. wywillethomsoni because young and juveniles of P. alcocki also have prominent spines on all the carapace regions (Alcock, 1895). Although all the spines on the dorsal carapace surface of adult P. alcocki are reduced to only tubercles (Fig. 4A–C), adult P. wywillethomsoni are still armed with one or two spines on each side of the protogastric regions even as adults (Griffin and Tranter, 1986a: 307, fig. 5b). The main diagnostic feature of P. alcocki is the deep groove on each side of mesogastric region, which separates the two adjacent branchial regions (Rathbun, 1916) (Fig. 4A, D). This character is useful even for young and adult specimens of P. alcocki and is clearly evident on the series of Thai specimens here. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The author would like to thanks Peter K. L.

Nearly all specimens were collected from Thai waters, the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand. The species is here reported as a new record for Myanmar waters and the distribution in the Indian Ocean has been extended to the west of the Andaman Islands. A male neotype is designated on a specimen collected from the original locality in order to replace the lost male holotype specimen. The neotype is deposited in the Reference Collection of Phuket Marine Biological Center, Thailand, as is the remaining female paratype, whereas selected specimens are deposited in National Science Museum Tokyo, Japan, U.S. National Museum, Washington D.C., USA and the Zoological Museum, SNM, University of Copenhagen, Denmark. Measurements of the neotype, paratype, and selected specimens are presented and discussed. Key word: bobtail squid, Euprymna hyllebergi, Thai waters, neotype INTRODUCTION Bobtail squids are small benthic cephalopods, belonging to the family Sepiolidae Leach, 1817, which contains about 14 genera and over 50 species. Sepiolid squids are distributed worldwide, ranging from tropical to temperate and sub-polar waters of all oceans (Nateewathana, 1997a). According to the most recent revision by Norman & Lu (1997) and a later paper on the genus by Nateewathana (1997b), 13 species have been referred to Euprymna Steenstrup, 1887. Six species, E. berryi Sasaki, 1929, E. hoylei Adam, 1986, E. hyllebergi Nateewathana, 1997, E. morsei (Verrill, 1881), E. scolopes Berry, 1913, and E. tasmanica (Peffer, 1884) are currently accepted in the genus. Two species, E. pusilla (Peffer, 1884) and E. schneehageni (Peffer, 1884), were placed as invalid while four species, E. albatrossae Voss, 1963, E. bursa (Pfeffer, 1884), E. phenax Voss, 1963, and E. stenodactyla (Grant, 1833), were treated as unresolved species (Norman & Lu, 1997). E. albatrossae, E. bursa, and E. phenax were known only from the types. The original type material of E. stenodactyla is lost, no further material has been found in Mauritius yet and the description of the species is poor (Norman & Lu, 1997). Furthermore, a nominal species, E. similis Sasaki, 1913, was considered a junior synonym of E. morsei (Norman & Lu, 1997). The species E. morsei, E. stenodactyla, E. berryi and E. hyllebergi, have been reported from Thai waters, the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand, by Chotiyaputta et al. (1992), Chotiyaputta (1993), Supongpan (1995), Nateewathana (1997b) and Nateewathana et al. (2001). 16 Phuket mar. biol. Cent. Res. Bull. According to Nateewathana et al. (2001) the occurrence of E. morsei, E. stenodactyla, and E. berryi in Thai waters was still uncertain since the voucher material could not be located. However, E. morsei and E. stenodactyla from the Andaman Sea and Myanmar waters have been registered at the PMBC Reference Collection in 2007. Future taxonomic study on those specimens is pending. All specimens of Euprymna hyllebergi deposited in the Reference Collection of Phuket Marine Biological Center, were checked and measured, but none were in accordance with the holotype. The first and the fourth authors contacted the cephalopod taxonomists who had previously studied the type material, but they all denied any knowledge about the fate of those types. We conclude that the holotype is lost. Euprymna hyllebergi is close to E. hoylei, but differs in the arrangement of suckers on the hectocotylized arm, the size and distribution of enlarged suckers on arms II–IV, and in the length of the tentacles (Nateewathana, 1997b: Fig. 3). E. hoylei is known from the tropical Western Pacific to North-West Australia (Norman & Lu, 1997). It is characterized by lacking enlarged suckers on arm II in mature males, having 3–4 enlarged suckers in dorsal and ventral rows of arm pair IV and ventral row only of arm pair III (Norman & Lu, 1997, Nesis, 1987). The suckers on arm II–IV of E. hyllebergi do not have any significantly or abruptly enlarged suckers (Nateewathana, 1997b). E. hyllebergi has a high number of stout papillae with a slitlike aperture in the distal half of the hectocotylus. The papillae of E. hyllebergi are crowded in rows of 4–6 suckers in the middle part, and reduced to two rows at the tip of the hectocotylus. The male characters are the most important features distinguishing the two species, E. hoylei and E. hyllebergi. Furthermore, the arrangement of the sessile suckers of the male is the only diagnostic feature to characterize the species of the genus, as well as other genera in the Family Sepiolidae. Hence it is necessary to select a male neotype of E. hyllebergi. The present report lists all specimens of this species in the Reference Collection, designates the male neotype of Euprymna hyllebergi in order to replace the lost male holotype and paratypes previously listed in Aungtonya et al. (2006, 2007), and describes specimens deposited in other museums. This study aims to facilitate future revision and taxonomic work on this genus and to update the known distribution of the species. MATERIALS AND METHODS The bobtail squids were obtained from fishing boats, research vessels, fish markets, and fish landings along the Andaman Sea coast of Thailand and the Gulf of Thailand as described by Nateewathana (1997b) and Nateewathana et al. (2001). Additional material for the present study was primarily obtained from the R.V. Chulaphorn of the Deep Sea Fishery Technology Research and Development Institute operating off the Andaman Sea coast of Thailand, and from fishing boats, fish markets and fish landings along the Andaman Sea coast of Thailand and the Gulf of Thailand. Taxonomic studies are based on Nateewathana (1997b). The specimen designated as the neotype and five lots of specimens were selected from the samples in the Reference Collection of Phuket Marine Biological Center. The neotype was, like the holotype, collected from small scale fishing areas in Trang Province, at a depth of less than 40 m off the Andaman Sea Coast of Thailand. Measurements follow those of Nateewathana (1997b). Definitions of measurements and indices are summarized in Table 1 and in Figure 1. The difference of the means of all the measurements and indices is compared with those listed by Nateewathana (1997b). Differences were considered significant when Specimens of the species, the newly designated neotype, and selected materials are deposited in the Reference Collection of Phuket Marine Biological Center, Thailand (PMBC), National Science Museum Tokyo, Japan (NSMT), U.S. National Museum, Washington, D.C., USA (USNM), and the Zoological Museum, SNM, University of Copenhagen, Denmark (ZMUC). 17 New records of the bobtail squid Table 1.

RESULTS A total of 265 specimens, 118 males and 147 females, were registered in the Reference Collection (see Table 2). Nearly all of the specimens were collection from Thai waters, the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand, except for PMBC 11781 and PMBC 11775 which were collected from the Indian Ocean, west of the Andaman Islands and Myanmar waters, respectively. The latter specimens are the first records of E. hyllebergi from the Indian Ocean, west of the Andaman Islands and Myanmar waters, respectively. The neotype was selected from PMBC 11742 and registered as PMBC 21339 (Fig. 2). Three lots of NSMT-Mo 76424, USNM 1150474, and ZMUC CEP-25 have been selected from PMBC 11742, PMBC 11748 and PMBC 11747, respectively. Two females of PMBC 11734 have been selected and registered as NSMT-Mo 76425 and ZMUC CEP-51. The male neotype, PMBC accession number 21339, is deposited in the Reference Collection of Phuket Marine Biological Center, as is the remaining female paratype, PMBC 11731. Selected measurements and indices of the type materials and selected specimens of E. hyllebergi are presented in Table 3. Mean of indices (in percent), standard deviation of five males and four females are presented in Table 4.

In male, arm suckers globular A with smooth horny ring, rounded aperture on normal sucker, but more ovate on enlarged one. Left arm I of male hectocotylized, stout, shorter than other arms and curved outwards (Nateewathana, 1997b: figs. 3a, 4a–b). The size of arm suckers on different arms varied. Tentacles round, flattened on oral surface, edges of flat area angled, dorsal margin elevated into a low keel towards club. Club short, curled, and rounded with numerous rows of very small suckers. Gladius absent. Buccal membrane smooth without suckers. Type locality. Small scale fishing areas in Trang Province, in the depth less than 40 m, the Andaman Sea coast of Thailand. Distribution. Indian Ocean (Andaman Sea and Myanmar waters with range extension to the west of the Andaman Islands) and Gulf of Thailand. Remarks. The characters of all specimens match well with those of E. hyllebergi, as described and figured by Nateewathana (1997b). Description of beak, radula, ink sac, and spermatophores of the species are not repeated herein. The right tentacle in NSMT-Mo 76424 and the left tentacle in ZMUC CEP-51 are missing.

The arm length formulas of the present material of males and females (Table 4, II > III > IV > I), matches those of Nateewathana (1997b) as well as those in the neotype and paratype (Table 3). Differences are, however, found in some of the selected specimens; four specimens show II > III > IV > I but three other specimens show II > IV > III > I (Table 3). These differences occur because the tips of the right arms were broken. All measurements and indices of the neotype are in the ranges reported by Nateewathana (1997b). Some measurements and indices in the paratype and selected specimens are, however, out of these ranges, i.e., Mantle Length (ML), Arm Length Index (ALI), Arm Sucker Index (ASI), Tentacle Length Index (TtLI), and Club Length Index (ClLI) (Tables 3–4). Furthermore, the t-test of the mean of all measurements and indices by Nateewathana (1997b) and in this study were considered significant for ALII in both male and female, for ASIII and ClLI in male only, and for TtLI in female (Table 5). These differences may occur because the suckers on arms easily fall off and are lost in preserved material and the tip of the first right arm in male specimen was broken. Therefore some errors occurred in estimation of the length of the first right arm, which was measured from the first basal (proxima-most) sucker to tip of arm as a percentage of mantle length. Furthermore, according to C.C. Lu (pers. comm., in Nateewathana, 1997b), the length of the tentacles in cephalopods may not be a usable taxonomic character since it varies greatly depending on how the specimen is fixed and preserved. Live fixed animals have short tentacles because of contraction and, on the other hand, specimens thawed from frozen condition have long tentacles. In order for this character to be of some 26 Phuket mar. biol. Cent. Res. Bull. use, specimens should be fixed under identical conditions. Specimens from the same batch may vary greatly (C.C. Lu, pers. comm., in Nateewathana, 1977b). The mantle length, the first arm length index, the tentacle length index, and club length index are the main characters/indices used for distinguishing the species from other members of the genus. Although the tentacle length is particularly important in recognizing this species, it is not necessarily an autopomorphy for the species. It is the combination of the arrangement of suckers on the hectocotylized arm, the size and distribution of enlarged suckers on arms II–IV, and in the length of the tentacles that distinguishes Euprymna hyllebergi.

Box 60, Phuket 83000, Thailand Email: ukkrit@yahoo.com ABSTRACT: A brief review of recent ichthyological research and compiled results on the records of fishes from the Andaman Sea coast of Thailand are presented. A total of 1,746 species in 198 families of fishes are currently known from the area. The 10 most speciose families are the Gobiidae (227 species), Labridae (78), Pomacentridae (71), Serranidae (61), Apogonidae (60), Blenniidae (52), Carangidae (52), Scorpaenidae (49), Lutjanidae (39) and Chaetodontidae (37), and these together account for 42% of the total fish fauna. The ichthyofauna is dominated by reef-associated fishes (983 species) and pelagic/benthic fishes inhabiting offshore habitats (971 species). A zoogeographic analysis reveals a peculiarity of the fauna of this marginal-sea region, viz., being one of the areas of sympatry of Indian and Pacific Ocean fishes, as well as harbouring regional endemics. The PMBC Reference Collection currently contains examples of only about 63% of the fishes known from the area, indicating a need for further local sampling campaigns and/or international collaborative exploratory research programs in the Andaman Sea to build up the Reference Collection. Keywords: Thailand, Andaman Sea, fishes, checklist, diversity. INTRODUCTION The Andaman Sea is an approximately 1,200 km long x 650 km wide body of water to the southeast of the Bay of Bengal. It is bounded by the Gulf of Mataban in the north, the Malay Peninsula in the east, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands in the west and the northern tip of Sumatra in the south. At its southeastern corner, the Andaman Sea narrows to form the Strait of Malacca, which separates the Malay Peninsula from the island of Sumatra. Along an approximate 1,000 km length of the Andaman Sea coast of Thailand, a variety of marine and coastal habitats are present, viz., mangroves, mud-flats, seagrass beds, rocky shores, intertidal sand-flats, coral reefs, open pelagic zones, and complex seabed systems on the continental shelf. The integrity of different peculiar environmental settings and/or characteristics among those habitat types provides suitable refuges for a vast variety of aquatic biota, including fishes. Although, biogeographically, it belongs to the eastern Indian Ocean, it is strongly influenced by the western Pacific Ocean biota via the northwesterly through-flow in the Strait of Malacca. It is thus an area of distributional confluence of the biotas of both the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean (Satapoomin, 2002a, 2007; Kimura and Satapoomin, 2009). Being a marginal sea separated from the main Indian Ocean by the Andaman-Nicobar island arcs, it has been subjected to a profound effect of sea-level lowering, especially during major glaciations when it became a separated, enclosed basin. Such isolation processes are believed to have promoted speciation and/or endemism of the fish fauna in the Andaman Sea (e.g., McManus, 1985; Randall, 1998; Randall and Satapoomin, 1999). The area is thus characterized by its high diversity and the unique faunal composition of the fishes. However, knowledge and information on the overall diversity of marine fishes in the area is still limited, because very few attempts had been made to compile a list of all known fish species from the area. The purposes of the present paper are to provide a brief review of recent ichthyological research, and to establish a comprehensive checklist of all known marine and brackish-water 30 Phuket mar. biol. Cent. Res. Bull. fishes from the Andaman Sea coast of Thailand. The checklist was compiled from various sources of information, including published literature, unpublished data made available under several sampling programs/projects, and the fish collection data repository of the Phuket Marine Biological Center (PMBC). It should be noted that the overall list of species presented herein is only provisional as a number of species records and identifications in previously published literature (particularly those of inventory, non-taxonomic works), cannot be verified. Nonetheless, this provisional checklist will serve as a significant baseline for further establishment of a conventional, annotated checklist or taxonomic review of the Andaman Sea fishes. METHODS The compilation of the species list was based largely on accumulating information from the earlier literature, including inventory works and/ or faunistic surveys, field guides, and taxonomic works. Some unpublished data, including recent unpublished survey results made by the author, collection data of the Royal Ontario Museum’s project on gobioid fishes of southwestern Thailand in 1993 (under auspices of Dr. Richard Winterbottom), and the PMBC fish collection data repository were also incorporated into the current checklist. Selected taxonomic papers pertaining to records of fishes from the Andaman Sea coast of Thailand used to compile the current checklist are listed in Appendix B. The systematic arrangement of families follows Nelson (2006). Species in each family are arranged alphabetically. The scientific names of fishes used in the cited literature have been updated where possible, following recent usage, and hence junior synonyms were omitted. Since the compilation was also based, in part, on literature that provided only a list of names, the author has only been able to check or correct misidentifications to a limited extent. In this regard, only correct names were retained, synonyms were allocated according to the latest usage, while doubtful species records were excluded. In addition to scientific names and classification, the checklist provides basic information on habitats and zoogeographic distribution of each species. The availability of voucher specimens lodged at the Reference Collection of the PMBC was also emphasized in order to draw the attention of ichthyologists who may wish to examine these specimens. The designation of habitat type(s) for each species was based largely on either quoted information from the compiled literature or from the author’s unpublished survey results and observations. Four principal habitat categories adopted herein included mangrove (Mg), coral reef (Cr), seagrass bed (Sg), and other offshore habitats (OShr). These categories can be considered as good representations of the major marine and coastal features along the southwestern Thailand coastline. Each of these habitat types, however, was more or less loosely defined in order to accommodate a range of associated minor biotopes of each habitat. The offshore category, in particular, was the most inclusive term as it encompassed a range of benthic- and pelagic-related habitats. This designation includes both near-shore and faroffshore fishes considered as either pelagic (i.e., coastal pelagic, offshore pelagic, epipelagic, and mesopelagic) or demersal (i.e., coastal demersal, benthopelagic, and deep demersal) species. The mangrove habitat was considered to include certain inter-connected zones like mud-flats and the upper reaches of the estuarine areas. Coral reef was defined to include several nearby and/or associated areas, namely intertidal rocky shore/rock platform, intertidal sand-flat, and subtidal bare-seafloor in front of the reef (so called as forereef). Most of the well defined zoogeographic distribution categories (see, e.g., Myers, 1991) were generally adopted or redefined with additional explanation, while some new categories were added with their definitions. The definitions for those distribution categories and their acronyms are as follows: Indo-Pacific (IP), widespread across the Indian Ocean and western portion of the Pacific with an eastern limit east of non-marginal areas of the Pacific Plate; Indo-west Pacific (IWP), a subset of the Indo-Pacific with northeastern limit on the Pacific Plate, marginally in the Carolines but not reaching the Marshalls; West Pacific (WP), limited to the area bound by the Andaman Island and Cocos-Keeling Island in the west to the margin of 31 The fishes of southwestern Thailand the Pacific Plate in the east, north to southern Japan, south to western and eastern Australia; West central Pacific (WCP), west Pacific and Pacific Plate distributions and may include the East Pacific; Indo-Australian Archipelago (IA), a subset of the West Pacific, north to southern Taiwan, east to the Solomons, south to the Great Barrier Reef; Indo-Malayan Archipelago (IM), a subset of IndoAustralian which is limited to the areas within bounds of Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Java, New Guinea and Philippines; Indian Ocean (IO), widespread throughout the Indian Ocean; Northern Indian Ocean (NIO), the extended range of eastern Indian Ocean to encompass the northwestern limits which include the west coast of India, Pakistan, Oman and Persian Gulf; Eastern Indian Ocean (EIO), the eastern section of the Indian Ocean westwards to Laccadive, Maldive and Chagos archipelagoes; the eastern extremity of the Indian Ocean (EEIO), a narrow stripe or transition area along the joint margin of Indian-Australian and Asian lithospheric plates, including the Andaman Sea, Sumatra, Java, Bali, Flores, CocosKeeling/Christmas Islands and northwestern Australian Shelf; Andaman Sea province (AS), the area assigned to accommodate species having restricted distribution only to the Andaman Sea or ranging southwards only to western Sumatra; Circumtropical (CIR), tropical seas worldwide; and Cosmopolitan (COS), tropical and temperate seas worldwide. The boundary of some distribution categories is presented (Fig. 1) for clarification of the definitions of those areas. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 1. Brief review of ichthyological research The fish fauna of the Andaman Sea coast of Thailand was poorly documented until relatively recent times. There were several well-known western ichthyologists/naturalists (e.g., Cuvier, Valenciennes, Bleeker, Günther, Fowler, Regan, Boulenger, etc.) who reported, listed or described Thai fishes between 1800 and the 1950s, but their works were restricted only to either the Gulf of Thailand (marine) or inland (freshwater) fishes (see Monkolprasit et al. (1997) for detailed historical review). The first marine fish of the Andaman Sea coast of Thailand described by a westerner was a reef-associated goby, Pipidonia quinquecincta Smith, 1931 [valid as Gobiopsis quinquecincta (Smith)]. During his term of service (1923–1935) as the Adviser in Fisheries to the Department of Fisheries of Thailand (formerly Siamese Bureau of Fisheries), Smith published a number of articles pertaining to freshwater fishes and fishes of the Gulf of Thailand. Later, in 1945, he published a monograph entitled “The Freshwater Fishes of Siam, or Thailand” (Smith, 1954). Suvatti (1950) was the first Thai ichthyologist to publish a list of Thai fishes. Several subsequent studies on marine fishes in Thai waters by the Thais were confined to groups of particular interest, for instance Pleuronectiformes (by Punpoka, 1964), Lutjanidae (Banasopit, 1968), Serranidae (Banasopit, 1969; Monkolprasit, 1983), Chaetodontidae (Banasopit, 1971), Leiognathidae (Monkolprasit, 1973), Elasmobranchii (Monkolprasit, 1984), and Labridae (Monkolprasit, 1989). The foremost comprehensive compiled checklist of the fishes of Thailand, which included both freshwater and marine fishes, was published by Monkolprasit et al. in 1997. It listed 171 fish families with a total of 1,741 species, about 30% (516 species) of which can be considered as freshwater fishes. The records of marine fishes in the checklist were compiled from the literature published before 1990, except for two papers (one on mangrove fishes by Monkolprasit (1994) and one on ammodytid fishes by Ida et al. (1994)). That checklist recorded 710 species representing 129 families of fishes from the Andaman Sea. A few collections of reef fishes from the Similan Islands were made during the R/V Te Vega Cruise 2, eastern Indian Ocean cruise (from Singapore to Colombo, Ceylon), in late 1963 (http:/ /tevega.stanford.edu/cruises.htm). These collections were deposited at the U.S. National Museum of Natural History, and some were designated as types of new fish species described subsequently (i.e., Melichthys indicus Randall & Klausewitz, 1973, Gymnothorax pseudoherrei Böhlke, 2000, and Helcogramma lacuna Williams & Howe, 2003). In February 1979, Randall (Bishop Museum, Hawaii) and Allen (Western Australian Museum) made a few collections and photographed reef fishes around Phuket and the Similan Islands (see Allen et al., 2005). Although 32 Phuket mar. biol. Cent. Res. Bull. Figure 1. Approximate range of some zoogeographic distribution categories. A: Indo-Pacific (IP), Indo-west Pacific (IWP), West central Pacific (WCP), and West Pacific (WP); B: Indo-Australian archipelago (IA) and Indo-Malayan Archipelago (IM); C: Northern Indian Ocean (NIO), Eastern Indian Ocean (EIO), and Eastern extremity of Indian Ocean (EEIO). no comprehensive list of fishes resulted from that effort, the collected materials had been used in describing several new species (i.e., Leptojulis chrysotaenia Randall & Ferraris, 1981, Chromis flavipectoralis Randall, 1988, Pomacentrus adelus Allen, 1991, P. azuremaculatus Allen, 1991, P. polyspinus Allen, 1991, P. similis Allen, 1991, Neopomacentrus sororius Randall & Allen, 2005, Plesiops auritus Mooi, 1995, Plectorhinchus macrospilus Satapoomin & Randall, 2000, Ctenochaetus truncatus Randall & Clements, 2001, Scorpaenopsis possi Randall & Eschmeyer, 2001, Helcogramma lacuna Williams & Howe, 2003, and Opistognathus cyanospilotus Smith-Vaniz, 2009). The most important collections of reef fishes for the area were made in November 1993 under the collaborative project between the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM), Canada and the Phuket Marine Biological Center (PMBC). From well over 35 sampling stations using the ichthyocide rotenone 33 The fishes of southwestern Thailand around Phuket and adjacent islands, nearly eighteen thousand specimens representing about 570 species in 75 families of fishes were collected and documented. It was also the first time that significant information on small cryptobenthic reef fishes for the area was obtained. The collected materials have been used in the descriptions of 13 new species to date (including 7 species in Gobiidae and 1 in each of the following families: Apogonidae, Serranidae, Pomacentridae, Opistognathidae, Tripterygiidae, and Soleidae), with several other descriptions underway. Satapoomin (1993) established a first comprehensive checklist of coral reef fishes of the west coast of Thailand by compiling information from both available literature (dated back to 1950) and the author’s survey results carried out during 1990–1992. The list revealed a total of 597 species belonging to 66 families of reef fishes in the area. Allen et al. (2005) provided an extensive list, consisting of 764 species in 70 families, of coral reef fishes being recorded and/or known for the area. The most recent list of coral reef fishes, with 888 species in 85 families, was published by Satapoomin (2007). There are a limited number of studies on ichthyofauna of either mangroves or seagrass beds in the Andaman Sea coast of Thailand, most of which were confined to particular sampling sites (e.g., Boonruang et al., 1994; Monkolprasit, 1994; Janekitkarn and Monkolprasit, 1994). Satapoomin and Poovachiranon (1997) provided the first comprehensive list of the fish fauna from several major mangrove and seagrass bed sites along the coast of southwestern Thailand. That study revealed a total of 280 species representing 75 families of fishes, which included 232 species (69 families) and 149 species (51 families) found in mangroves and seagrass beds, respectively. In 2002, a study by Fish Team of the Trang Project (2002) provided a list, together with illustrations, of 134 species in 49 families of fishes inhabiting a mangrove estuary at Sikao, southwestern Thailand. Under the JSPS (Japan Society for the Promotion of Science) Multilateral Project on Coastal Marine Science, Matsuura and Kimura (2005) published a guide book with taxonomic accounts and illustrations of 128 species in 46 families of fishes inhabiting mangroves, seagrass beds and surrounding area of Libong Island, Trang Province. The most recent list of the fish fauna in the seagrass beds of the Andaman Sea coast of Thailand, with 230 species in 62 families, was published by Satapoomin (2006). The first publication on demersal and/or pelagic fishes of the Andaman Sea coast of Thailand was published by Lohakarn (1968). This included taxonomic accounts of 109 species in 57 families. Fishes collected by bottom trawls during the 5th Thai-Danish Expedition to the Andaman Sea in 1966 (the first Thai-Danish marine expedition) were reported by Boonyanate and Hylleberg (1993) with a total records of 80 species in 41 families. Other early studies on demersal fishes in the area were mostly focused on fisheries aspects and, in most cases, faunal composition was reported mainly as higher taxonomic ranks rather than individual species (e.g., Pokapunt and Sinoda, 1978; Boonragsa, 1988; Chantawong, 1996). Some studies on experimental operations of certain types of fishing gears reported not more than 50 fish species each (e.g., Wongratana, 1982b, 1983; Ruengpan, 1988). A more comprehensive list of demersal fishes collected by otterboard trawl nets and deep sea shrimp traps along the Andaman Sea coast of Thailand at depths of about 30–420 m was published by Wongratana (1982a), with 256 species in 91 families. Also, Pokapunt and Tantivala (1987) reported 182 species of demersal fishes (in 66 families) in the area from surveys using otterboard trawls at water depths less than 90 m. Deep-sea fishes of the Andaman Sea were poorly known. The results of surveys during 1975 and 1976 on fishes inhabiting the continental shelf within the depth range of 200– 550 m was reported by Pokapunt et al. (1983), with taxonomic accounts of 31 species in 20 families. Under the Scientific Cooperation Programme between Denmark and Thailand during 1996–2000, the Biodiversity of the Andaman Sea Shelf (BIOSHELF) Project was undertaken by the staff of the PMBC together with their Danish counterparts. The benthic fauna, including fishes, was sampled at depths of 40–900 m. Preliminary results revealed a total of 55 families in 20 orders of fishes, most of which were deep-water fishes that have not yet been identified (Aungtonya et 34 Phuket mar. biol. Cent. Res. Bull. al., 2000). Under the JSPS project, a comprehensive guide book entitled “Fishes of Andaman Sea, West Coast of Southern Thailand” covered 778 species in 106 families of fishes (Kimura et al., 2009). The Reference Collection of the PMBC is one of the major sources of information on marine biodiversity of the Andaman Sea coast of Thailand. The collection of fishes, in particular, was largely established as a result of the FAO/DANIDA Seminar on Fish Taxonomy in Southeast Asia held at the PMBC in 1972. Apart from the Andaman Sea fishes, a number of specimens obtained from the Gulf of Thailand, as well as from neighboring countries (i.e., India, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Philippines, and Hong Kong) were brought in during the seminar and subsequently deposited in the PMBC Reference Collection. Some deposited material of fishes from Australia was donated by the Australian Museum under a past exchange programme. One lot of fishes collected from Myanmar during the first joint Myanmar-Thai Fishery Exploratory Survey in 1990 was also deposited in the Reference Collection (Nateewathana et al., 1983). A revised checklist of fishes in the PMBC Reference Collection was published by Nateewathana et al. (1983), comprising a total of 629 species in 119 families. The collection has gradually increased following a number of subsequent researches (e.g., Sirimontraporn et al., 1993; Satapoomin and Poovachiranon, 1997; Satapoomin, 1999, 2002b) and intensive sampling programmes (e.g., a collaborative project between ROM and PMBC in 1993 and the PMBC’s past and ongoing projects, namely Coral Reef Management Project (1995– 1999), Seagrass Resources Management and Dugong Conservation Project (1997–2000), and Assessment of Coastal Marine Resources Project (since 2004)). According to the recent PMBC data repository (http://pmbc.go.th/pmbc-rc/ Taxonomy.php/), the most reliable records of fishes (excluding doubtful records and/or misidentifications) deposited in the Reference Collection total at least 1,200 species belonging to 170 families. The Andaman Sea fishes, in particular, are well represented with a total number of 1,093 species, comprising 1, 39, and 1,053 species in Myxini, Chondrichthyes, and Actinopterygii, respectively. 2. Faunal composition and zoogeography The present checklist contains 1,746 species, representing 696 genera, 198 families, 40 orders, and 3 classes, of marine and coastal fishes from the Andaman Sea coast of Thailand (Appendix A). The figure is relatively high as compared to those reported from several other localities in the Indian Ocean. For example, 533 species were reported from the Cocos (Keeling) Islands (Allen and Smith-Vaniz, 1994), 603 from the Laccadive Archipelago (Jones and Kumaran, 1980), 622 from Christmas Island (Hobbs et al., 2010), 784 from the Chagos Archipelago (Winterbottom and Anderson, 1999), 880 from Seychelles and adjacent areas (Smith and Smith, 1969), 885 from the Reunion Island (Letourneur et al., 2004), 930 species from Oman (Randall, 1995), 1,078 from the Red Sea (Golani and Bogorodsky, 2010), 1,090 from the Maldives (Anderson et al., 1998), and 1,800 (as an estimate) from southern Africa (Heemstra and Heemstra, 2004). There may be the real differences in fish diversity among those localities, but it should be noted that the number of species recorded probably reflect biases or differences in any or all of the following aspects: sampling effort, habitat/depth representation, and geographical coverage. The 10 most speciose families (Gobiidae, Labridae, Pomacentridae, Serranidae, Apogonidae, Blenniidae, Carangidae, Scorpaenidae, Lutjanidae and Chaetodontidae) collectively account for about 42% of the total fish fauna. The cumulative percentage contribution when the top 20 families are taken into account (Table 1) is over half the total (56%), suggesting that the fauna is not predominated by only a few families but by a set of several families. This seems to reflect the diversity of habitats encompassed by the current faunal list. Each habitat usually contains a unique composition of the predominant fish families, except for the Gobiidae, which is the most diverse group in nearly all coastal habitats (e.g., coral reefs, seagrass beds and mangroves – Satapoomin, 2006, 2007; Fish Team of the Trang Project, 2002). The current checklist, which includes species from 35 The fishes of southwestern Thailand Table 1. Twenty most speciose families of fishes of southwestern Thailand, the Andaman Sea.

The relative abundance of these families is similar, although with variable ranking, to those in studies of inshore fishes at many other IndoPacific localities, for example, Reunion Island (Letourneur et al., 2004), Maldive Islands (Randall and Anderson, 1993), Chagos Archipelago (Winterbottom and Anderson, 1999), northwestern Australia (Allen, 1993), Calamianes Islands, Palawan Province (Allen, 2000), southern Taiwan (Shao et al., 2008), Yaku-shima Island, southern Japan (Motomura et al., 2010), and Mariana Islands (Myers and Donaldson, 2003). The Gobiidae, in particular, was usually the leading family when it was adequately sampled. Other less diverse families include 25 families with a range of species numbers of 10–19 species, 27 families with 5–9 species, 59 families with 2–4 species, and the remaining 66 families each with single species. With respect to habitat association, the fish fauna consists overwhelmingly of reef fishes, which comprise about 56% (983 species) of the total species. The coastal species from mangroves and seagrass beds represent about 17% (296 species) and 14% (246 species) of the total fauna, respectively. The other major component, which is loosely categorized to accommodate fishes inhabiting a variety of offshore habitats (spanning pelagic to benthic zones at various depths), comprises about 55% (971 species) of the total 36 Phuket mar. biol. Cent. Res. Bull. fauna. The figures accounting for the proportion of species shared between habitats vary considerably and are relatively low, i.e., 42% between mangroves and seagrass beds, 20.5% between offshore habitats and coral reefs, 16.8% between offshore habitats and seagrass beds, 15.6% between offshore habitats and mangroves, 9.4% between coral reefs and seagrass beds, and 5.3% between coral reefs and mangroves. The species shared among the 4 biotopes account for only 2.3% of the total species recorded. Species shared between or among habitats, however, comprise a number of species which are strongly dependent on more than a single habitat type, and often exhibit a segregated habitat-use pattern with respect to their different life-history stages (e.g., Mumby et al., 2004; Shibuno et al., 2008). This seems to suggest an inter-system connection in fish populations. Because unique assemblages of species are restricted to each particular habitat type, while others depend upon the existence of multiple habitat-types through connectivity, special attention must be paid to holistic approaches of multi-ecosystems management and conservation if the overall diversity of the fishes is to be maintained. At present, there is growing concern over the science of connectivity because understanding of the linkage among ecosystems is considered as a key to the success of conservation and management of marine and coastal areas, particularly when emphasizing the design of marine protected areas (MPAs) and MPA network (Botsford et al., 2009; Sale et al., 2010). The zoogeographic analysis of species with adequately known distribution ranges is presented in Table 2. The analysis reveals that the fish fauna consists primarily of species which are widely distributed either in the Indo-Pacific or Indowest Pacific (50.7%). Approximately 17.1% of the fauna are found within portions of the western Pacific and northeastern Indian Ocean (i.e., NIO– WCP, NIO–WP, NIO–IA, NIO–IM, EIO–WCP, EIO–WP, EIO–IA, and EIO–IM). Similarly 15.5% of species have a distribution range in the western Pacific or portions of this region (i.e., WCP, WP, IA, and IM). This clearly confirms that eastern most boundary of the Indian Ocean including the Andaman Sea overlaps the biogeographic region of the West Pacific. About 12% of the fauna has a primarily Indian Ocean range, with lesser values (Table 3) for either the fauna confined to the eastern extremity of the Indian Ocean (about 1%) or the fauna restricted only to the Andaman Sea province (1.7%). The remaining species (4.9%) have panoceanic ranges, including circumtropical and cosmopolitan distributions. The presence of fauna having both an Indian Ocean distribution range and also a western Pacific distribution range in the area can be considered as compelling evidence of a distribution confluence of both Indian Ocean and Pacific Ocean faunas in the region. The boundary where sympatry of the eastern (= Pacific Ocean) and western (= Indian Ocean) populations is most evident seems to encompass Christmas Island and the Java–Bali region (see, Randall, 1998; Allen and Adrim, 2003; Hobbs et al., 2010). The strong influence of the Indian Ocean fauna in the area can be further highlighted by considering the number of sibling species that involve Indian and Pacific Ocean species pairs, and some geographic variants that contain different Indian and Pacific Ocean colour morphs. While inconsistent considerations among ichthyologists over taxonomic status (i.e., variants, subspecies, or full species) of the latter exist, concrete morphological and/or genetic evidence is required to ascertain their taxonomic status (Randall, 1998; Hastings and Springer, 2009). As exemplified in Table 4, which includes 68 sibling species-pairs (in 17 families) and 18 species (in 10 families) possessing geographic variation in colour morphs, the Andaman Sea fauna is predominantly represented by the Indian Ocean forms. Since establishment of the PMBC Reference Collection about 25 years ago, a great deal of knowledge has accumulated and well over 190 new species (see also Aungtonya et al., 2006) have been described from the Andaman Sea. At present, the Reference Collection maintains type materials of 21 fish species, including 9 holotypes and 27 lots of paratypes (Table 5). Reliable records of Andaman Sea fishes currently deposited at the Reference Collection account for about 63% of the total fish fauna. The fish collection thus still does not include a comprehensive representation of the Andaman Sea fish fauna. In order to maintain its significant role in supporting biodiversity research of the ichthyofauna of this particular 37 The fishes of southwestern Thailand region, the fish collection needs to be upgraded by additional sampling so that the missing 27% of species can be made available as voucher or reference materials for future researchers. Also worth mentioning here are the figures reflecting biotope representation of the fishes catalogued in the Reference Collection, which vary considerably, i.e., 64% of total offshore fishes and 65% of the reef-associated fishes, but 81% of the mangrove fishes and 88% of the seagrass fishes. These figures can form a basis for targeting future sampling programs for the Reference Collection. Small and cryptic reef fishes and particularly those inhabiting the deep-reef habitats are in need of extensive sampling. For fishes dwelling among various offshore habitats, deep demersal, benthopelagic, and mesopelagic fishes are among the groups that have not been adequately sampled. Deep sea exploratory research programs are generally costly and particularly require specific techniques, equipment as well as taxonomic expertise. The establishment of such programs is likely to require international collaborative efforts and funding. Although the present checklist provides the most extensive species records for the area, it should be considered as a provisional rather than a complete faunal list. Also, there are a number of identifications that still need verification through examination of voucher specimens. Furthermore, the sampling efforts for several fish groups and/ or in certain habitats remain deficient. The present provisional checklist, however, can at least help to draw the attention of ichthyologists who are interested in fish fauna of the Andaman Sea to where there are knowledge gaps. Also, it can serve as a baseline for a comprehensive taxonomic review and/or annotated checklist of the Andaman Sea fishes. It is hoped that, joint research or collaborative efforts will be possible in the near future to accomplish such goals. While the current limited effort and interest, especially with respect to taxonomy, has slowed down the progress in this research area, a concomitant obstacle regarding decreasing personnel trained in ichthyology in Thailand seems to be more critical and needs urgent action.

It was then presented as a plenary talk at the seminar on “Biodiversity of Southern Thailand in Focus: Status and Research Direction” at Walailak University, Nakorn Sri Thammarat, Thailand, during 10–12 November 2010. I am grateful for the generous support made available by the JSPS for me to be able to join several fish workshops conducted over the years, which ultimately gave me a wonderful opportunity to learn more about the fish faunas of SE Asia. Special Paratypes (2) Holotype, Paratypes (3) Holotype Holotype Paratypes (1) Holotype, Paratypes (1) Paratypes (4) Holotype thanks are due to Dr. Keiichi Matsuura [KM] of the National Museum of Nature and Science, Tokyo, for his considerable effort in leading the fish diversity project under the JSPS multilateral programme and encouraging me to write up this paper. I am very grateful to Dr. Richard Winterbottom [RW] of the Royal Ontario Museum for sharing the research outcomes from the 1993 expedition to Phuket and inspiring my interest in small cryptobenthic reef fishes. Both KM and RW kindly gave their time for reviewing and improving the first draft of this manuscript. Several past and ongoing projects at PMBC which contribute to the information and knowledge on the Andaman Sea fish fauna have been continually supported by the Thai government budget. I am also grateful to the many staff members of the PMBC for their assistance in the field. REFERENCES Allen, G.R. 1991. Damselfishes of the World. Mergus Publishers, Melle, Germany. 271 p.
