Abstract
The relatively rich freshwater fauna of Wadi Hajr in southeastern Yemen is studied, and details on the diagnostic characteristics of two newly recorded eel species, Anguilla bengalensis and A. bicolor, are given. A. bengalensis is the first record for the Arabian Peninsula; specimens collected apparently belong to the subspecies labiata. Information is also given on four other freshwater fishes new to Yemen or to Wadi Hajr: Garra tibanica, Barbus exulatus, and Awaous aeneofuscus as autochthonous occurrences, and Oreochromis mossambicus as an introduced species.
