| Description | Journal: New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research The known pempherid fauna of New Zealand comprises two species: Pempheris adspersa Griffin, endemic to the north‐eastern shores of North Island; and P. analis Waite, found in the Kermadec Islands as well as Norfolk Island, Lord Howe Island, and the east and west coasts of Australia. Pempheris adspersa differs from P. analis in having: some interorbital scales cycloid (versus all interorbital scales ctenoid), usually 3 or more predorsal scales cycloid which often form a mesial line of cycloid scales (versus rarely 4 or fewer predorsal scales cycloid), lateral‐line scales 56–68 but rarely more than 66 (versus 63–77, rarely fewer than 65), and scales below lateral line 18–24 but rarely more than 22 (versus 22–27). A principal components analysis differentiates the two species with only slight overlap. Reports of P. compressa from New Zealand are erroneous; descriptions of P. compressa and P. adspersa have been confused in the literature. Pempheris compressa differs from P. adspersa in having: anal fin dusky along entire length (versus tips of first 4–5 anal‐fin rays black), gular region scaled (versus unsealed), segmented anal‐fin rays 35–40 (versus 29–35), head depth 36–41 % of standard length (SL) (versus 31–38%), and body depth 44–52% of SL (versus 38–46%). A principal components analysis clearly differentiates the two species. |
