Abstract

Three specimens (194.4–203.8 mm standard lengths) of the lizardfish Synodus nigrotaeniatus Allen, Erdmann & Peristiwady, 2017, collected from Jakarta Bay, western Indonesia, represent a significant range extension for the species, which was previously known from only six specimens collected in Lembeh Strait, North Sulawesi, eastern Indonesia. Morphological comparisons with available data from the type specimens and molecular data from the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) gene are presented. The COI sequence data show a 4% genetic difference from the related Synodus sageneus Waite, 1905.
