摘要
Verulux solmaculata sp. nov., a new cardinalfish based on 88 specimens collected from Papua New Guinea and Australia, differs from V. cypselurus, the only other known member of the genus, by the following characters: higher modal numbers of pectoral fin-rays (16 vs. 15 in the latter) and developed gill rakers (14 vs. 13), a broader black band extending over 3-5 (mode 4) rays on each lobe of the caudal fin (vs. 1-3, mode 2), and a black blotch on the caudal-fin base (vs. blotch absent).
