Abstract
After completion of the revision of the dinematichthyine fishes (Ophidiiformes: Bythitidae: Brosmophycinae) of the Indo-west Pacific based on more than 6500 specimens in 2008, extensive additional material was reviewed from the collections of the Western Australian Museum and the South African Institute of Aquatic Biodiversity. This material has not only led to a better definition of the species Brosmolus longicaudus but also to a recognition of the following new taxa: Didymothallus nudigena sp. nov. from northwestern Australia, Paradiancistrus christmasensis sp. nov. from Christmas Island (Indian Ocean), Nielsenichthys pullus gen. nov., sp. nov. from Nusa Penida, Indonesia, Majungaichthys agalegae sp. nov. from northern Madagascar and Agalega Islands and Mascarenichthys remotus sp. nov. from Rodrigues Island. The status of Alionematichthys sp. 2 in Moller and Schwarzhans (2008) is resolved and placed into A. crassiceps Moller and Schwarzhans, 2008, thereby extending the distribution of the species to northwestern Australia.
