First record of Engyprosopon hureaui (Actinopterygii, Pleuronectiformes, Bothidae) from Taiwan, with a revised key to Engyprosopon in Taiwan

The Hureau’s flounder, Engyprosopon hureaui Quéro et Golani, 1990 is first recorded from Taiwan based on a female specimen and fresh photographs of an unretained specimen. Even though it has been recorded from sparse localities in the Indo–West Pacific, it has never been recorded from Taiwan. The presently reported specimen fills the distribution gap in the northwestern Pacific Ocean between Japan and New Caledonia. A detailed description of the specimen is provided and compared to data of other specimens, with morphological variations noted. Additionally, a revised key to the 12 species of Engyprosopon from Taiwan is provided.

Abstract

The Hureau’s flounder, Engyprosopon hureaui Quéro et Golani, 1990 is first recorded from Taiwan based on a female specimen and fresh photographs of an unretained specimen. Even though it has been recorded from sparse localities in the Indo–West Pacific, it has never been recorded from Taiwan. The presently reported specimen fills the distribution gap in the northwestern Pacific Ocean between Japan and New Caledonia. A detailed description of the specimen is provided and compared to data of other specimens, with morphological variations noted. Additionally, a revised key to the 12 species of Engyprosopon from Taiwan is provided.
