Blakeway, J.-A., Townsend, K., Erdmann, M., Allen, G., Teliwa, M., Waranaka, J.-A., Brooks, W., & Dudgeon, C. L. (2026). A review of walking shark (Hemiscylliidae: 𝐻𝑒𝑚𝑖𝑠𝑐𝑦𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑢𝑚) distributions in Papua New Guinea and description of a new species. Journal of the Ocean Science Foundation, 46, 71–110. https://t.co/xLjHihUtxM

𝗔𝗯𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁
Walking sharks (𝐻𝑒𝑚𝑖𝑠𝑐𝑦𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑢𝑚) comprise 9 morphologically similar species whose identification relies on distinctive color patterns, genetic markers, and geographically restricted distributions.

The genus is endemic to Australia and the island of New Guinea, a region that coincides with the global hotspot for carpet shark diversity (Orectolobiformes) that has been shaped by complex tectonic and sea‑level histories. Although knowledge of walking shark distributions has been updated over the past two decades, the species endemic to eastern Papua New Guinea remain poorly known.

This study addresses these gaps by investigating the distributions of walking sharks in eastern Papua New Guinea. We used a series of in-situ surveys to review the ranges of walking shark species and to document their species-specific color patterns, complemented by an assessment of genetic markers to confirm the updated geographical distributions across species and explore phylogeographic patterns in the region.

We present updated distributions for two species (𝐻. 𝑚𝑖𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑒𝑙𝑖 and 𝐻. ℎ𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑠𝑡𝑟𝑜𝑚𝑖)¸ as well as a theory for the development of a mosaic of disjunct, non-overlapping distributions previously unreported for the genus. Additionally, we describe a tenth member of the genus, 𝐻𝑒𝑚𝑖𝑠𝑐𝑦𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑢𝑚 𝑑𝑢𝑑𝑔𝑒𝑜𝑛𝑎𝑒, n. sp., which is likely to be highly threatened.

We present possible mechanisms that may have produced this mosaic of distributions and influenced speciation in the region. Finally, we discuss the conservation implications of these findings.

𝐻𝑒𝑚𝑖𝑠𝑐𝑦𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑢𝑚 𝑑𝑢𝑑𝑔𝑒𝑜𝑛𝑎𝑒 is named in honour of Christine L. Dudgeon, a renowned elasmobranch geneticist and ecologist who has researched 𝐻𝑒𝑚𝑖𝑠𝑐𝑦𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑢𝑚 phylogenetics and speciation for the past two decades and who first collected this undescribed species. The local common name at the type locality is kadedekedewa, which loosely translates to dog shark or lazy shark with reference to its slow, four-limbed gait. It is known as botabota at the Trobriand Islands.

#NewSpeciesAlert - 𝑁𝑜𝑡ℎ𝑜𝑏𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑐ℎ𝑖𝑢𝑠 𝑝𝑜𝑝𝑝𝑖, a new species of seasonal killifish (Nothobranchiidae), is described from ephemeral wetlands in the upper Lubi River system, a left bank affluent of the lower Luapula River drainage (upper Congo River drainage) in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Distributed among killifish hobbyists as 𝑁𝑜𝑡ℎ𝑜𝑏𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑐ℎ𝑖𝑢𝑠 𝑠𝑝. 'DRCP 2013/6' up to now. Belongs to the 𝑁. 𝑏𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑛𝑖 species group that is endemic to the upper Congo River and upper and middle Zambezi River drainages in south-central Africa.

🔒 https://t.co/A4iuYZ97g7

"𝑁𝑜𝑡ℎ𝑜𝑏𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑐ℎ𝑖𝑢𝑠 𝑝𝑜𝑝𝑝𝑖, like all congeners, completes its seasonal life cycle in ephemeral freshwater wetlands, making it highly vulnerable to habitat degradation. These wetlands are increasingly threatened by human activities such as agriculture, water abstraction, urban expansion, industrial pollution, and mining. Protecting the integrity of these habitats year-round is essential to preserve their unique seasonal biodiversity. The description of this new species from the lower Luapula River drainage aims to highlight the urgent need for stronger freshwater wetland conservation efforts by both national and international stakeholders."

𝑁𝑜𝑡ℎ𝑜𝑏𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑐ℎ𝑖𝑢𝑠 𝑝𝑜𝑝𝑝𝑖, new species, is described from ephemeral wetlands in the upper Lubi River system, a left bank affluent of the lower Luapula River drainage (upper Congo River drainage) in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is identified as belonging to the 𝑁. 𝑏𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑛𝑖 species group that is endemic to the upper Congo River and upper and middle Zambezi River drainages in south-central Africa. Members of this species group are characterised by a combination of colour pattern features in the male: light blue scales with broad brown-red borders creating a reticulated pattern on body; brown-red spots on proximal portion of median fins; and, caudal and anal fins with either a pattern of dark distal and light subdistal bands or, on the caudal fin an overlaying light blue iridescent distal band.

𝑁𝑜𝑡ℎ𝑜𝑏𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑐ℎ𝑖𝑢𝑠 𝑝𝑜𝑝𝑝𝑖 is distinguished from all other members of this species group by: (i) a unique colour pattern in the male combining median fins with an irregular red-brown reticulated pattern and an overlaying light blue iridescent distal band; an anal fin lacking a subdistal band but having, rather, a narrow red-brown margin on fin-ray tips; (ii) significant differences in morphometric and meristic characters; (iii) molecular analysis of the mitochondrial COI barcoding gene, identifying a phylogenetically distinct lineage; and (iv) unique cytogenetic characteristics showing a multiple sex chromosome system with diploid number 2n = 49 for males and 2n = 50 for females.

𝑁𝑜𝑡ℎ𝑜𝑏𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑐ℎ𝑖𝑢𝑠 𝑝𝑜𝑝𝑝𝑖, like all congeners, completes its seasonal life cycle in ephemeral freshwater wetlands, making it highly vulnerable to habitat degradation. These wetlands are increasingly threatened by human activities such as agriculture, water abstraction, urban expansion, industrial pollution, and mining.

𝗔𝗯𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁
A new species of bumblebee goby, 𝐵𝑟𝑎𝑐ℎ𝑦𝑔𝑜𝑏𝑖𝑢𝑠 𝑗𝑒𝑛𝑛𝑖𝑒 sp. nov. (Teleostei, Oxudercidae), is described based on 31 specimens collected from the Hengqin Island, Guangdong Province, China.

This new species is distinguished from all other valid species of 𝐵𝑟𝑎𝑐ℎ𝑦𝑔𝑜𝑏𝑖𝑢𝑠 by its extreme small size (SL < 9 mm) and distinctive number, position, size and shape of its black bars. It possesses four complete (forming ring) or nearly complete post-cephalic, relatively narrow bars, two of which are located posterior to the base of the anal fin. The first bar behind the head extends pigmentation to the first dorsal fin but does not reach the midventral line. The second bar, chevron-shaped and located below the second dorsal fin, extends pigmentation onto that fin and ventrally reaches the midventral line and the anal fin. Cytochrome oxidase subunit I-based analyses, including six out of the eight valid species of 𝐵𝑟𝑎𝑐ℎ𝑦𝑔𝑜𝑏𝑖𝑢𝑠, show 𝐵𝑟𝑎𝑐ℎ𝑦𝑔𝑜𝑏𝑖𝑢𝑠 𝑗𝑒𝑛𝑛𝑖𝑒 sp. nov. to be more than 10% genetically divergent from other species, supporting the morphological diagnosis and confirming its distinct taxonomic status.

With a maximum size of less than 9 mm SL (based on observations of 106 specimens), the new species is not only the smallest species of 𝐵𝑟𝑎𝑐ℎ𝑦𝑔𝑜𝑏𝑖𝑢𝑠, but also one of the smallest known gobioid fishes.

𝗘𝘁𝘆𝗺𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆
The specific epithet is in honour of Ms. Jennie Ruby Jane. The name recognises her exceptional character and achievements, which proved source of inspiration for the first author who discovered the new species. The name is used as a noun in apposition. The Chinese vernacular name proposed for this new species is “珍妮短虾虎鱼”.

Oliveira-Silva, Leonardo, Sabaj, Mark Henry, Schaefer, Scott Allen, Oliveira, Claudio de, Zanata, Angela M., Long overlooked, finally recognized : a new species of 𝐶ℎ𝑎𝑟𝑎𝑐𝑖𝑑𝑖𝑢𝑚 (Characiformes, Crenuchidae) from the Orinoco River basin revealed through morphology and mtDNA., American Museum novitates no. 4055, 9th June 2026.

𝗔𝗯𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁
A new species of 𝐶ℎ𝑎𝑟𝑎𝑐𝑖𝑑𝑖𝑢𝑚 is described from tributaries of the Orinoco River in Colombia and Venezuela.

The new species can be distinguished from congeners by a combination of characters, including presence of a conspicuous blotch on the caudal peduncle, presence of secondary vertical bars in addition to primary bars, a complete lateral line with 31–34 perforated scales, 14 circumpeduncular scales, absence of hooks on the pelvic-fin rays of mature males and absence of sexual dichromatism. Molecular species-delimitation analyses consistently supported the monophyly of 𝐶. 𝑜𝑏𝑙𝑖𝑣𝑖𝑢𝑚 and recognized it as an independent lineage. Molecular divergence between this lineage and other closely related species was substantially higher than the minimal variation observed within it, providing strong evidence for its status as a distinct species.

This study highlights the often overlooked role of museum collections in harboring hidden biodiversity.

𝗘𝘁𝘆𝗺𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆
The specific name is derived from the Latin 𝑜𝑏𝑙𝑖𝑣𝑖𝑢𝑚 (neuter), meaning “oblivion” or “forgetfulness.” The name refers to the fact that this species remained undescribed for many years despite being preserved in scientific collections, thus highlighting the often overlooked role of museum collections in harbouring hidden biodiversity and the importance of revisiting historical material.
