[[ Genus Parioglossus ]]

In their review of the Indo-West Pacific genus Parioglossus , Rennis & Hoese (1985) recognized 13 valid species, including six species they described as new: P. aporos Rennis and Hoese , P. dotui Tomiyama , P. formosus (Smith) , P. lineatus Rennis and Hoese , P. marginalis Rennis and Hoese , P. nudus Rennis and Hoese , P. palustris (Herre) , P. philippinus (Herre) , P. rainfordi McCulloch , P. raoi (Herre) , P. taeniatus Regan , P. triquetrus Rennis and Hoese , and P. verticalis Rennis and Hoese . Since this review, three additional new species have been named, P. neocaledonicus Dingerkus & Seret (1992), P. interruptus Suzuki & Senou (1994), and P. sinensis Zhong (1994). A fourth species referred to by Suzuki et al. (1994) as “ P. sp. ” has been recorded from Iriomote Island, but has yet to be named. Thus there are currently 16 valid recognized species and one which has yet to be formally described. Five Parioglossus specimens collected at Rapa are not referable to any of the known species and represent a new species described herein.
