Abstract: | Two anthiine fishes from the eastern tropical Atlantic are described as newHolanthias cyprinoides andAnthias helenensis. The former is distinguished from the other Atlantic species ofHolanthias in having the forked caudal fin with rounded lobes and from the Indo-Pacific species in having no elongated dorsal spines or soft rays. The latter is closely related toAnthias asperilinguis Günther (South America, Atlantic coast), but differs from it in having more pectoral fin rays and more gill rakers. The present investigation onAnthias suggests that AtlanticAnthias is a genus distinct fromPseudanthias of the Indo-Pacific. |
