Thermichthys (Bythitidae), replacement name for preoccupied Gerhardia Nielsen & Cohen, 2002 and a second specimen of Thermichthys hollisi from the Southeast Pacific Jørgen G. NIELSEN (1) & Daniel M. COHEN (2) (1) Zoological
Museum, Universitetsparken 15, 2100 Copenhagen Ø, DENMARK. Abstract.
- A replacement name, Thermichthys, is suggested for the preoccupied,
monotypic fish genus, Gerhardia Nielsen & Cohen, 2002. A second
specimen of Thermichthys hollisi (Cohen, Rosenblatt & Moser,
1990) caught at the hydrothermal vent site Hobbs is here described and
compared to the holotype from the Galapagos Rift Zone about 4000 km northeast
of Hobbs. The new specimen is a male but otherwise there is hardly any
difference between the two specimens. |
