Terelabrus dewapyleis a new species of deepwater wrasse described from specimens collected in the western Pacific ocean. The newly minted species is only the second species of ‘candy cane hogfish’ joining the ever popularTerelabrus rubrovitattus最终为以前的单型属增加了一些多样性。
像同类物一样Terelabrus dewapylewere all collected in deeper reef waters between 72 to 92 meters (236 to 300 feet) around Japan, Papua New Guinea and Fiji, giving this new species quite the extensive natural distribution. There have been a variety of slightlydifferent forms ofTerelabrus鱼类在水族馆贸易中弹出了多年,但是Terelabrus dewapyle是第一个被认为足够不同的鱼足以保证高升到自己的物种水平。

What separatesTerelabrus dewapylefromT. Rubrovittatus是中间红色条纹上方的生动黄色带,在“第一”物种中是白色的Terelabrus。最突出区分的另一个功能Terelabrus dewapyleis the presence of a black blotch on the gill plate which is easy to spot on juveniles but fades somewhat with size and maturity.

重要的是要注意,对于构成“真实”物种的构成的东西没有久经考验的界限,但是我们仍然是水族基督徒认识到某些基于独特的颜色和图案的糖果甘蔗猪鱼标本的独特性。几年前,托尼·瓦尔加斯(Tony Vargas)享受着特别健康的标本“黄色条纹”糖果甘蔗猪鱼我们能够彻底观察和记录。

The yellow stripe candy cane hogfish has been well documented by both divers and rare reef fish aquarium enthusiasts so we already know that this species makes a fine aquarium fish once it settles in to captivity and prepared foods. ButTerelabrus dewapyle可能不是最后一个未描述的物种Terelabrus留在海中,因为印度洋的马尔代夫也知道了另一个特别是白色的糖果甘蔗猪鱼。
当新物种描述带来完全未知的礁鱼引起我们的注意时,我们会喜欢它,但是当他们对我们已经在海洋水族馆的爱好中享受的鱼类发明新的灯光时,这也很好。希望我们不必再等二十年了Terelabrus描述了,但与此同时,欣赏托尼的黄色条纹糖果甘蔗猪鱼的视频。
Terelabrus Dewapyle由Fukui&Motomura在最新版本中描述Zootaxa。
