A New Species of the Eel Genus <i>Gnathophis</i> (Congridae, Anguilliformes) from the Seamounts of the Emperor–Hawaiian Chain, Western and Central North Pacific by Artem M. Prokofiev, Benjamin W. Frable, Olga R. Emelianova, Svetlana Yu. Saveleva, Alexei M. Orlov

“…The close relationship of <i>G. johnsoni</i> sp. nov. and <i>G. cinctus</i> represents a rare case of biogeographical relations between western and eastern Pacific demersal fish faunas. Molecular data suggest that some morphologically similar species may represent independently evolved lineages, though the group of <i>Gnathophis</i> possessing elevated lateral-line pores is likely monophyletic.…”
