摘要
The clingfish Apletodon barbatus sp. nov. is described on the basis of 22 specimens and color photos from Santiago and Sal Islands, Cape Verde Islands, eastern central Atlantic Ocean. The species is very small, apparently not exceeding 18 mm total length; it is characterized by having a conspicuous maxillary barbel in males, 4-5 incisors in the upper jaw, numerous brown spots on the head and body in males, and a double white spot near the anus. The new species is compared with other species of the genus; a key to the males of the 5 known species of the eastern Atlantic genus Apletodon is presented. A checklist is provided for the species of Apletodon and their synonyms. Several new records are included in the present paper: Apletodon dentatus and A. incognitus are recorded from the Canary Islands, and A. wirtzi is recorded from Cameroon.
