https://cappadociapublishing.com/index.php/taxa <p><strong>About <em>TAXA</em></strong></p> <p><em><strong>TAXA </strong></em><strong>(</strong><em><strong>Journal of Taxonomy and Systematics</strong></em><strong>)</strong>is an international and interdisciplinary open-access journal. It publishes original research articles, review articles, and communications covering the conception, naming, and classification of all organisms: Eubacteria, Archaebacteria, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia. The journal focuses on improving our understanding of taxonomic knowledge, the relationship between all taxonomic levels and nature, biodiversity origins, and conservation. We aim to encourage scientists and research groups to publish as many experimental and theoretical research results as possible. Full experimental details and/or study methods must be provided for research articles so that the results can be reproduced.</p> Hana Arge ve Danışmanlık Ltd. Şti. en-US TAXA 2980-2237 https://cappadociapublishing.com/index.php/taxa/article/view/36 <p>A previously undescribed genus of signalfishes from the Grand Passage north of Grande Terre, New Caledonia, <em>Acanthopsaron striatum </em>n. gen. n. sp., is characterized by 7 spines in the first dorsal, anal-fin rays mostly branched, branched caudal-fin rays 10, scales small, cycloid, lateral-line scales 60, ctenoid; pelvic fin short, not reaching to anus when adpressed; snout terminal, none of the jaws projecting; maxillary tentacle absent; maxillary spine absent; maxillary notch present, weakly developed; opercle with a single, strong spine; subopercle with a weak spine; barbel on lower-jaw tip absent; anterior-nostril projections absent; iris flap absent. <em>Pteropsaron flacissimum</em> n. sp. is described from a single specimen that was also trawled in the Grand Passage of New Cakledonia; this species is characterised by having 6 spines in the first dorsal fin, 18 rays in the second dorsal fin, ca. 22 rays in the anal fin, gill rakers 0 + 8, 46 lateral-line scales, first dorsal fin low, without filaments; anal fin normal, without extended rays; head length 3.6 in SL, preorbital length 1.7 in eye diameter; pelvic fin extending to fifth anal-fin membrane when adpressed; body rose, dorsally with wide yellow streak extending from tip of snout to upper caudal-fin base; first dorsal fin pale, without black markings. The new species are compared with allied species. A key to the genera and species of the family Hemerocoetidae is presented.</p> Ronald Fricke Copyright (c) 2024 TAXA 2024-12-26 2024-12-26 5
