Two further new species ofGalaxias(Teleostei: Galaxiidae) from the Taieri River, southern New Zealand

Abstract: Two new species of Galaxias have overlapping distributions in the lower Taieri River catchment, Otago, although not as yet found in sympatry. Galaxias pullus n.sp. is known from several tributaries of the Waipori River up-and downstream of Lake Mahinerangi, and also from a tributary of the Waitahuna, part of the Clutha River catchment. Galaxias eldoni n.sp. comes from several small tributaries of the lower Taieri near Outram and Middlemarch, from a tributary of the Waipori River below Lake Mahinerangi, from a … Show more

“…Recent molecular and ecological studies have provoked a distinctly changed perspective on the taxonomy of species in the G. vulgaris species complex (Allibone et al 1996;Allibone & Townsend 1997;McDowall 1997a;McDowall & Chadderton 1999;Waters & Wallis 2000. Increased diversity is also evident in the pencil-galaxias complex (McDowall & Waters 2002, 2003.…”

“…The taxonomy of fish populations of the G vulgaris morphotype has recently been extensively re-evaluated using both conventional morphological characters and genetic characters Regarded as just a single, rather variable species since a taxonomic revision by McDowall (1970), the species-group is now considered to include the nominate species, as well as G. anomalus Stokell, G. depressiceps McDowall and Wallis, G. pullus McDowall and G. eldoni McDowall (Allibone et al 1996;McDowall 1997). As reconsidered, G. vulgaris (sensu stricto) is recognised primarily from rivers including and north of the Waitaki River in the eastern and northern South Island, while the four additional species are variously distributed in Otago and Southland, south of the Waitaki (Fig.…”

“…formalin for about a week, washed in fresh water, and stored in 70% ethanol. Adult fish were measured, and counts of meristic characters taken, in conformity with methods used in recent descriptions of new Galaxias species (McDowall 1970(McDowall , 1997McDowall & Wallis 1996). Where possible, because of the small size of the fish (to c. 70 mm), measurements were taken using a lowpowered binocular microscope, and otherwise using an illuminated magnifier.…”
