Title On the occurrence of Anchoviella
baganensis (Hardenberg) and
A. bataviensis (Harbenberg) along the
south-east and south-west
coasts of India
 
Creator George, K C
 
Subject Pelagic Fishes
Clupeidae
 
Description Three Species of white-baits (Genus: Anchoviella) were described by Day
(1878-89) from Indian waters under the generic name Engraulis Cuvier,
1817; viz., E. commersonianus (Lacepede, 1803), E. indicus (van Hasselt, 1823),
and E. tri (Bleeker, 1852). Weber and de Beaufort (1913) recognised five
species from the Indo-Australian archipelago, but used the generic name
Stolephorus Lacepede, 1803. Important contributions to the knowledge
of the systematics of these fishes have been made by Hardenberg (1933 and
1934) and by Fowler (1941). It was Fowler (1911) who emended Stolephorus
Lacepede (strictly belonging to subfamily Dussumieriini, Clupeidas) and
created the new genus Anchoviella (Engraulidae) with Engraulis perfasciatus
Poey, orthotypic as the genotype.
