中国新纪录种长须拟鳠记述及拟鳠属评述(英文)

FIRST RECORD OF LONG WHISKER CATFISH MYSTUS GULIO FROM CHINA WITH DISCUSSIONS ON THE TAXONOMIC STATUS OF THE GENUS MYSTUS

记述采自中国广西壮族自治区的北伦河鲿科鱼类1新纪录种,长须拟鳠Mystus gulio(Hamilton,1822)。新纪录种为1小型鲿科鱼类,其主要形态特征如下:背鳍Ⅱ,7;胸鳍Ⅰ,8;腹鳍条11～13;脊椎骨数29～31;胸鳍和背鳍棘后缘呈锯齿状;脂鳍基长不及臀鳍基之半长;眼睛圆形且中等大;尾鳍深叉状,上叶稍长于下叶;上颌须末端达腹鳍基中部。拟鳠属Mystus与其近缘属拟鳠Hemibagrus种类的眼前缘与后鼻孔的距离明显大于两鼻孔间距,为这两属区别于鲿科其他属的形态特征之一。鳠属种类的脂鳍基都较长,一般为臀鳍基的2倍; 拟鳠属种类的指鳍基长度变化较大,或大于臀鳍基长,或短于臀鳍基长; 脂鳍基长度不宜用于鉴别拟鳠属和鳠属。但两属的枕骨和囟门沟的形态差异显著,拟鳠属种类的枕骨宽大,囟门沟短;鳠属种类的枕骨窄小,囟门沟长;该类特征可用于鉴别两属物种。
