During the course of studies on the fishes of the family Leiognathidae from the
Indian Seas, all the 14 species described, by Day (1876) as well as two additional
species known to occur elsewhere in the Indo-Pacific but reported for the first time
from the Indian region (James, 1968) were collected by the author. Further observations
on the group brought to light another species which does not agree with
any other known species of the group. Therefore it is described in this paper as
new to science and named after Dr. S. Jones, Director, Central Marine Fisheries
Research Institute in grateful acknowledgement of his interest in the work. The
holotype and the paratypes were deposited in the Reference Collections of the
Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute, Mandapam Camp.
