“…Terminology and methodology follow Su et al (2022), except for the following: the second urostyle was included in the count of caudal vertebrae; lateral-scale rows were counted horizontally from the posterior end of opercle to the caudal-fin base; the caudal-peduncle length was measured between the vertical of anal-fin base and caudal-fin base; the length between the end of the anal-fin base to the end of the striated area (ASA), and the length between the end of the striated area to caudal-fin base (SA-C) were measured additionally. Terminology and definitions of head bones follow Matsunuma et al (2023).…”

“…Aulotrachichthys is characterized by having a rather slender body, body height at dorsal-fin origin < 40% standard length; its anus situated between pelvic-fin bases, and with a perianal bacterial bioluminescent organ; its body with a pair of silvery striated areas (tissue) along ventral-lateral side (Fig. 1); cycloid scales present between lateral line and pectoral-fin base; three to eight dorsal-fin spines; and six pelvic-fin soft rays (Gomon & Kuiter 1987, Kotlyar 1996, Ghedotti et al 2021, Matsunuma et al 2023).…”

A new species of the luminous roughy fish genus Aulotrachichthys is described based on a single specimen collected from northeastern Taiwan. It differs from congeners in having the combination of characters: striated area on the caudal peduncle extending posteriorly, slightly beyond the middle point on the caudal peduncle, its length 66.7% caudal-peduncle length; a black vertical line on caudal-fin base; an overall dark-brown colouration, with isthmus, chest, abdominal scutes black; dorsal-fin elements V, 13; anal-fin spines III; lateral-scale rows 58; rakers on first gill arch 6 + 1 + 14 = 21; a rather slender body; a proportionally shorter trunk, distance between dorsal- and anal-fin origins, dorsal fin, pectoral fin, forehead, snout, and both upper and lower jaws; a proportionally longer preanal length, postdorsal length, and striated area. DNA-barcoding analysis revealed that the new species is clustered within Aulotrachichthys prosthemius and A. latus. The identity of A. sajademalensis from Taiwan is also discussed after a thorough examination of the fish collections of Taiwan. Moreover, we suggested that A. sajademalensis is restricted to the western Indian Ocean and, therefore, should be excluded from the ichthyofauna of Taiwan due to the misidentification of literature records and the absence of voucher specimens.
