- Description of a new liopropomine basslet, Liopropoma terecaudum, from northern Taiwan (Perciformes: Epinephelidae). Tang, Chi-Ngai Lai, Nok-Wai Ho, Hsuan-Ching Animals Taiwan Phylogeny Bass DNA, Mitochondrial Male DNA Barcoding, Taxonomic Female Animal Fins Liopropoma terecaudum sp. nov. is described based on 12 specimens collected off northern Taiwan. The new species most closely resembles two sympatric species, L. japonicum and L. dorsoluteum, but differs from both species and all other congeneric species of Liopropoma based on the following combination of morphological and colouration characters: caudal fin round; dorsal-fin elements VIII, 13 and lacking a distinct notch; lateral side of body with a broad red stripe; base of caudal fin with a large red blotch. Phylogenetic analysis of mitochondrial DNA barcode sequences places L. terecaudum in a clade with L. dorsolutum and L. japonicum. The average genetic divergences between L. terecaudum and L. dorsoluteum, and between L. terecaudum and L. japonicum, are measured to be 11.8% and 11.9%, respectively. The description of L. terecaudum brings the total number of Liopropoma in Taiwanese waters to 11.
