Abstract

A new species of slingjaw wrasse, Epibulus brevis, is described from the tropical West Pacific. It is very similar to the common and wide-ranging E. insidiator, differing in the relatively drab coloration of the male, the presence of prominent black pigment on the pectoral fins of most females, smaller size, slightly longer pectoral fins, and genetically as determined by mitochondrial DNA analysis. It lives in more protected inshore waters than E. insidiator.
