Abstract: | Heteronarce rierai sp. nov. is described on the basis of six specimens, one male and five females, caught in the waters off Mozambique (western
Indian Ocean). Total lengths range from 257 to 296 mm. The new species is distinguished from the three other species of the
genusHeteronarce by its narrower disc width (29.6% of TL in male, and 33.0 to 39.2% of TL in females), shorter disc length (32.7% of TL in
male, and 34.4 to 40.6% of TL in females), and its longer interdorsal distance (10.1 to 11.7% of TL). |
