Magnaluscus gen. nov. is distinguishable from other genera primarily by morphological characters including, its rounded body shape, vertical bars on body, absence of gill rakers, absence of lateral keels on caudal peduncle and large eyes (3.9–4.12% standard length). The new species M. mariae is characterized by near opposite insertions of dorsal and anal fins, shallow body, vertebrae (74–76), dorsal fin count (19–20), anal fin count (18–19) and branchiostegal rays (16). Molecular phylogenetic analysis also supported the morphological delimitation. The analysis of partial mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I gene sequences indicates the existence of a monophyletic clade different from other known genera. The inter-generic distance calculated using the Kimura 2 parameter is 10 to 18%. Ablennes and Tylosurus are closely related to new genus (10–12%) but can be differentiated using unique morphological features like laterally compressed body in the case of Ablennes and the presence of weak, pigmented lateral keels in Tylosurus .

INTRODUCTION The needlefishes or long toms are a family (Belonidae) of slim and long bodied teleost fishes (Mees, 1962 ). Their jaws are very prominent, elongated, and slender with sharp canine teeth. Most species are highly carnivores with short gut and reduced stomach (Manjakasy et al. 2009 ). Presently, the family is represented by 10 genera and 47 species (Froese and Pauly, 2024 ), of which, Potamorrhaphis , Pseudotylosurus , and Belonion are endemic to South American rivers (Collette, 1966 , 1974 ). Xenentodon , another genera is endemic to Southeast Asian rivers (Collette and Berry, 1965 ) and the remaining are exclusively marine, except Strongylura , in which some species can enter freshwater habitats, while some are restricted to freshwater habitats (Collette, 1984 ). This may be due to the genus Strongylura , being made of “several monophyletic species group” as described by Lovejoy and Collette ( 2001 ). The authors have also suggested a close phylogenetic relationship between some Strongylura species and endemic freshwater species, indicating a shared ancestry. Family Belonidae in India is represented by five genera ( Ablennes, Platybelone, Strongylura, Tylosurus , and Xenentodon) and nine species (Froese and Pauly, 2024 ). Needlefishes are found on both east and west coasts. Earlier reported occurrences include S. leiura in Gujarat (Sheikh et al. 2022 ); T. crocodilus in Goa (Bhatt and Bhargava, 1973 ); A. hians (Roul et al. 2019b ; Thomas et al. 2024 ; Toji et al. 2024 ), T. crocodilus (Barik et al. 2017; Thomas et al. 2024 )d strongylura (Karna et al. 2016; Thomas et al. 2024 ) from Odisha. The southern states are particularly rich in belonid fishes. Shahul Hameed et al. ( 2018 ) reported 4 species ( A. hians , S . incisa , T. crocodilus , and T. melanotus ) from the Lakshadweep archipelago. Roul et al. ( 2018 ), and Thomas et al. ( 2024 ) reports five species ( A. hians , T. crocodilus , T. melanotus, S. leiura , and S. strongylura ) from the Kerala coast. Of the numerous studies from south East coasts (Kasim, 1996; Kayalvizhi et al. 2018 ; Naganandhini et al. 2023 ; Rajkumar et al. 2021 ; Roul et al. 2019a ; Thomas et al. 2024 ) eight species ( A. hians , Platybelone argalus , T. crocodilus , T. choram, T. melanotus, S. leiura, S. incisa , and S. strongylura ) are reported. S. incisa is reported to occur in the Andaman Islands (Roul et al. 2019c ). Recently, 2 new species of Ablennes were described from Indian waters such as Ablennes joseberchmansis and A. gracalii (Toji et al. 2024 ). The Andaman and Nicobar Islands constitute one of the most significant biological hotspots in the country, with varied ecosystems (Rao et al. 2013); the fish diversity is rich with 1350 fish species (13 of freshwater origin) reported from the region (Silas, 1983 , Rajan, 2013). We have collected a few specimens from Andaman and Nicobar Isles for their resemblance with other species of Belonidae. The partial sequencing of the mitochondrial Cytochrome oxidase I (COI) gene provided distinguishing results that confirmed the existence of a new genus and species of Belonidae. The maximum likelihood of clustering approaches based on mitochondrial COI has shown a monophyletic genetic cluster of a new genus separate from the currently known genera. The inter-species genetic distance (10 to 18.1%) among genera has further signified the distinctness of the new genus identified from the Indian Ocean. The present study aims to validate the new genus and species using integrated taxonomic tools in comparison with other closely related species that have been documented throughout this oceanic region. 2. MATERIALS AND METHODS 2.1 Sample Collection Peculiar specimens of needlefishes were accidentally caught as a by-catch of cast net from the Marina beach of Port Blair (11°40'17.2"N 92°44'55.4"E) during the period of March 2022 (Fig. 1 & Table 1 ). The specimens were caught at about the depth of 0–2 m by cast netting. Their distinctive morphology immediately prompted a comprehensive investigation. Three of these specimens were transported to the laboratory in fresh condition for detailed morphological and taxonomic studies, including immediate photography. Concurrently, tissue samples were collected on-site and preserved in 95% ethanol, designated for subsequent molecular analyses to resolve their phylogenetic placement. To provide a comparative framework, additional closely related species within the family, specifically Ablennes hians , A. gracalii , A. joseberchmansis , Strongylura incisa , S. leiura , S. strongylura , Tylosurus crocodilus , T. melanotus , and Xenentodon cancila (Supplementary Fig. 2), were also collected from various Indian waters throughout the study period (2022–2023).

The majority of measurements were taken to the nearest millimeter using a digital Vernier caliper. Specific measurements, such as head length (from the tip of the lower jaw to the posterior margin of the operculum) and standard length (from the tip of the lower jaw to the base of the caudal fin, at the vertebral ending), adhered to the methodology described by Collette ( 2003 ). Preliminary identification of all specimens was conducted at the collection site and subsequently verified using Collette's standard taxonomic keys (1984, 1999). For comparative analyses, morphometric measures were expressed as percentages of standard length (SL), head length (HL), and eye diameter (ED). Vertebral counts were determined through X-ray radiography, following Jawad and Jig ( 2017 ). The color patterns of freshly collected specimens were meticulously documented. Sample was fixed in 10% formalin and then preserved in 70% ethanol solution at Designated National Repository (DNR) of Marine Biodiversity Museum, Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute, Kochi, Kerala, India for future reference and accessibility. 2.3 DNA extraction and PCR amplification DNA was isolated from the tissue using the customized marine animal kit, according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Origin Inc.). The quality and quantity of DNA were tested by Nanodrop Bio Spectrometer (Eppendorf Pvt. Ltd). Fragments of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) (Herbert et al. 2003) were amplified using universal primer WARD 1 (Ward et al. 1994) and 16S rRNA was amplified using 16Sar/16Sbr primers (Palumbi, 1996 ). All PCR amplification reactions were carried out with an initial denaturation step at 94ºC for 4 min, followed by, annealing for 40 s at 52º C and extension at 72º C for 1 min for 30 cycles for COI and 16s rRNA. The final PCR products were electrophoresed and visualized on 1.5% agarose gels containing ethidium bromide. 2.4 Sequencing and phylogenetic analysis The PCR product was sequenced in Vision Scientific, Cochin, India. The generated sequence was checked with quality, using the ABI sequence scanner (V 1.0), and these sequence data have been submitted to the NCBI -GenBank (Sayers et al. 2021 ) (Table 1 ). Published sequences of COI and 16S (Family Belonidae) were obtained from GenBank (Supplementary Table 1), and aligned with the newly generated sequences using the BIO Edit (Hall, 1999 ). A maximum likelihood (ML) analysis, Kimura-2-parameters (K2P) (Kimura 1980 ), and genetic distances were performed using MEGA 7 (Kumar et al. 2016 ) to identify the phylogenetic relationship of the new species. 3. RESULTS The present study reports the presence of four established Belonidae genera within Indian waters: Ablennes , Strongylura , Tylosurus , and Xenentodon . Comprehensive morphometric and meristic analyses were performed on all collected specimens. For morphological comparisons, representative type species were selected from each genus: Ablennes hians (Fig. 2 b), Strongylura strongylura (Fig. 2 c), Tylosurus crocodilus (Fig. 2 d), and Xenentodon cancila (Fig. 2 d), and remaining members were contributed to morpho meristic analyses. Notably, beyond these known genera, the current investigation, supported by robust molecular studies, unveils the description of a novel genus and an exclusive new species within the family Belonidae, discovered solely in the Andaman Sea. 3.1 Description of Genus Magnaluscus Genus Magnaluscus genus nov (Fig. 2 a & Supplementary Fig. 2) LSIDurn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:82EAE6CD-7439-41FA-8C9B-6F8BD9286C60 Genus author: Thomas Toji Proposed common name Bigeye Longtom Holotype : Designated National Repository No: GB.10.4.1.1; TL- 181mm, SL-165 mm, collected by cast net catch, marina beach, Port Blair, Andaman and Nicobar Islands (11°40'17.2"N 92°44'55.4"E) Bay of Bengal Sea, around 0–2 m depth, Toji Thomas, 02 March 2022.

Magnaluscus also has vertical bands in common with Ablennes (Figs. 2 & 5 ). Among the available genera in the region, only Tylosurus have caudal peduncle keels. The caudal fin shapes (Fig. 4 ) in Ablennes and Tylosurus are deeply forked while it is rounded or truncated in Strongylura and Xenentodon. Magnaluscus meanwhile has a lightly forked caudal fin. The dorsal fin is elongated in Magnaluscus , Ablennes , and Strongylura , while it is short in Xenentodon and Tylosurus . The counts (range) like vertebrae (Fig. 6 ), dorsal fin rays and anal fin rays (Fig. 4 ) are also varied: vertebrae- Ablennes and Tylosurus (85–92), Strongylura (60–83), Magnaluscus (74–76) Xenentodon (61–63); Dorsal fin rays- Tylosurus and Ablennes (22–26), Magnaluscus (19–20), Xenentodon (16–18) and Strongylura (13–21); Anal fin rays- Ablennes (25–28), Tylosurus (20–23), Strongylura (16–22), Magnaluscus (18–19), Xenentodon (17–18). Morphometric measurements like distance between pelvic and anal fin insertions and depth at anal fin origin (Fig. 5 ) (in %SL) shows marked difference: distance between pelvic and anal fin insertions- Magnaluscus (12.4–12.8), Strongylura (12.1–17), others (14.5–18); depth at anal fin origin - Magnaluscus (4.3–4.8), Strongylura (4.5–6.5), others (6.2–8.3) (Table 3 ).

Likewise, the final alignment length for the 16S rRNA gene was standardized to 500 bp. We evaluated the genetic relationships among specimens from different genera of the Belonidae family by constructing a maximum likelihood dendrogram. As anticipated, due to their unique morphological characteristics, specimens of Magnaluscus mariae. sp. nov. formed a distinct clade (Figs. 7 & 8 ). To quantify the inter-generic degree of sequence divergence, we calculated genetic distance using the Kimura-2 parameter. The COI-based distances between Magnaluscus gen. nov. and other belonids ranged from 10 to 18% (Table 4 ). The 16S rRNA distances ranged from 3.5–15.8% (Table 5 ). The genera most closely related to Magnaluscus gen. nov. are Ablennes and Tylosurus , with genetic differences of 10% and 11.9% respectively for COI (Table 4 ), and for 16S rRNA, the difference is 3.5% for both genera (Table 5 ).

Similarly, the minimum intergeneric genetic distance was observed between the genera Belone and Petalichthys , at 5.7%, indicating a close genetic relationship. Conversely, the maximum genetic distances were higher across both interspecific and intergeneric comparisons, reflecting greater divergence among other taxa. 4. DISCUSSION India is one of the major biodiversity hotspots in the world (Myers et al. 2000 ). The marine fish biodiversity of India (2443 species in 927 genera) is rich (Gopi and Mishra, 2015 ), with more numbers being added every year (Abdussamad et al. 2022 ; Abdussamad et al. 2023; Bineesh et al. 2018 ; Kodeeswaran et al. 2023 ; Randall and Victor, 2015 ; Toji et al. 2024 ). More number of species are estimated to be reported to be hidden in the region. The current study only encountered Ablennes, Tylosurus, Strongylura , and Xenentodon . Platybelone was not found on the Indian coast, but earlier studies have reported it (Kayalvizhi et al. 2018 ). Hence literature records were scoured for comparison among genera (Talwar and Kacker, 1984 ). Upon morphological, morphometric, and molecular cross-analysis, the presence of an entirely new genus that is distinct from all available genera at present was validated. The genus Ablennes is easily distinguished from other needle fishes by its laterally compressed body shape (Collette, 1999 ). A. hians is distributed widely in tropical warm waters around the world (Collette and Parin, 1970 ). Two new species of Ablennes have been described recently (Toji et al. 2024 ), which was previously thought of as a monotypic genus. The new genus Magnaluscus only resembles Ablennes in having prominent vertical bars and differs by having a rounded body shape (Fig. 2 ). The absence of gill rakers and lateral keel on the caudal peduncle differentiates it from Platybelone (Collette, 1999 ). The caudal fin is lightly forked in Magnaluscus compared to the deeply forked caudal fin in Ablennes and Tylosurus. It is wholly different from rounded or truncated fins in Strongylura and Xenentodon . In Tylosurus small, weak-pigmented lateral keels are easily discernible (Fig. 4 ). Other morphological similarities and dissimilarities between the 5 genera are remarked upon in the genus description above. In regards to the measurements, the jaw length in Magnaluscus and Strongylura are the longest, while Xenentodon and Ablennes have moderate jaws, Tylosurus has the least jaw length (Fig. 3 & Table 3 ). The head length (in % SL) is greatest in Strongylura ranging from 36–39% (rounded values), which fall into the range (38–40) from earlier studies by Roul et al. ( 2019c ). In Magnaluscus and Xenentodon it is comparatively less (35–36), and in Tylosurus and Ablennes it is least (≤ 30), similar to earlier studies (Sinis, 2005 ; Roul et al. 2019a ; Fortic et al. 2023). While comparing the head width (in % HL) among the genera (Table. 6), Magnaluscus followed by Tylosurus have the highest width; Ablennes and Xenentodon have moderate head width, and Strongylura the least. The head depth (in % HL) is largest in Ablennes (20–22), followed by Tylosurus (17–19), and Xenentodon (15–16). Strongylura has moderate values (11–17), which may be due to variation from a greater number of species. Magnaluscus have the smallest head depth (13–14) among the genera. The head depth observed in the collected specimen is near to range from earlier studies (Dhanze et al. 2018 ; Roul et al. 2019b ) (Table. 3). The snout (Preorbital) (in % HL) is longest in Strongylura (65–72), and Ablennes (63–71), least in Magnaluscus gen. nov., and Xenentodon (61–63). The snout length (in % SL) of A. hians in a study from Bangladesh (Akash et al. 2021 ) matches the present study range. Platybelone is known for its large eyes, i.e., 1.3 to 2.1 times in post-orbital distance (Talwar and Kacker, 1984 ) but Magnaluscus has an even larger eye size of 2.3 times in post-orbital distance. Eye diameter (in % HL) is very large in Magnaluscus (11–12). Tylosurus is a close second (9–10) in eye diameter. It is of moderate size and similar range in Ablennes and Xenentodon (8-8.9). Strongylura exhibits the widest range in eye-diameter values (6–11). One of the key characters the inter-orbital width (in % HL), is high in Tylosurus and Magnaluscus ; moderate in Ablennes and Xenentodon ; and widely varied in Strongylura (7.5–13). Eye diameter (in % HL) and inter-orbital width (in %HL) from Roul et al. ( 2019b ) are consistent with this study (Tables 3 & 6 ).

The height of the anal fin (in % SL) is very long in both Ablennes and Strongylura , moderate in Xenentodon , and short in Magnaluscus and Tylosurus (Table 3 ). These ranges are agreeable to earlier studies (Roul et al. 2019 a & b; Akash et al. 2021 ). In Magnaluscus , the distance between the pelvic fin and anal fin is very short (12.4–12.8), but in others, they are further apart than in Magnaluscus . In Xenentodon , the distance between the dorsal fin and anal fin is negligible, in Tylosurus too it’s a close thing with both fins being nearly opposite of each other (Table 6 ). In Magnaluscus they are very close (0.2 to 0.3 mm apart). In Ablennes and Strongylura anal fin insertion is far from dorsal fin origin, with the values exhibiting similar ranges (Fig. 5 ). The shapes of dorsal and anal fins are varying among the genera (Fig. 4 ). Ablennes and Tylosurus have similarly shaped fins, even the Tylosurus has shorter fins. The fin shapes of Magnaluscus , Strongylura , and Xenentodon are distinct and markedly different from each other. Tylosurus and Ablennes have more dorsal and anal fin rays counts. Ablennes and Tylosurus have the highest vertebrate count (Fig. 7 ), followed by Strongylura , Magnaluscus , and Xenentodon . Dorsal fin counts are also highest in Ablennes and Tylosurus , while moderate in Magnaluscus and least in Xenentodon and Strongylura . Lateral line counts are highest in Ablennes , Tylosurus , and Xenentodon , and moderate in Magnaluscus . Pre-dorsal scales in Ablennes are the highest ranging from 431 to 715, moderate in Magnaluscus (228 to 242), and least in Strongylura (135 to 196). The counts in the present study are concordant with earlier studies by Collette et al. ( 2018 ), Dhanze et al. ( 2018 ), Akash et al. ( 2021 ), Roul et al. 2019 a,b,c), Fortic et al. (2023). The Magnaluscus mariae sp. nov. is so far only known from Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Indian Ocean. It is the sole species in the genus till date, no other species have been found apart from this. It is distributed in shallow waters up to 2 m depth. The measurements and counts encountered in the present study fall within the ranges described by earlier reports (Collette, 1984 , 1999 ; Talwar and Kacker, 1984 ). The phylogenetic studies conducted by Lovejoy ( 1999 , 2000 ) were able to differentiate a clade from New World genera. Lovejoy and Collette ( 2001 ) using an integrative taxonomic approach have further explored the phylogenetic relationships. In this study, the congruence of the phylogenetic trees resulting from the Mitochondrial COI marker with identical topology as Magnaluscus mariae sp. nov. belonged to a single clade, and the sequences of other genera from GenBank clustered in a separate supportive clade with an inter genus genetic distance greater than 10 percentage. The p-distance between Magnaluscus gen. nov. and other genera in Belonidae was more than the threshold genetic distances generally considered as intergeneric distances used for species delimitation and validation in needle fishes (Lovejoy 2000 ; Lovejoy 2004: Lovejoy and Collette 2001 ). Molecular analysis revealed that Magnaluscus gen nov shows maximum likeliness with Ablennes and Tylosurus . 10.5, and 11.5–13, intergeneric differences with Ablennes and Tylosurus itself remarkably keep the newly proposed genus entirely different from other Belonidae. An inter-generic distance of 21.1 shows maximum divergence from a species of Old-World clade like Petalichthys capensis . Earlier studies have proven the role of geography in restricting gene flow and the resultant genetic variations that arise as a result of these barriers (Lovejoy and de Araújo, 2000). Hence Magnaluscus gen. nov. can be interred as an advanced belonid, placing it firmly with the likes of Ablennes, Tylosurus , and Strongylura . Further surveys and studies are required to unveil more details about this novel species like ecological differences and evolutionary relationships between Magnaluscus gen. nov. and related genera.

INTRODUCTION","content":"\u003cp\u003eThe needlefishes or long toms are a family (Belonidae) of slim and long bodied teleost fishes (Mees, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR36\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e1962\u003c/span\u003e). Their jaws are very prominent, elongated, and slender with sharp canine teeth. Most species are highly carnivores with short gut and reduced stomach (Manjakasy et al. \u003cspan citationid=\"CR35\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2009\u003c/span\u003e). Presently, the family is represented by 10 genera and 47 species (Froese and Pauly, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR19\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2024\u003c/span\u003e), of which, \u003cem\u003ePotamorrhaphis\u003c/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003ePseudotylosurus\u003c/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eBelonion\u003c/em\u003e are endemic to South American rivers (Collette, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR7\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e1966\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR8\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e1974\u003c/span\u003e). \u003cem\u003eXenentodon\u003c/em\u003e, another genera is endemic to Southeast Asian rivers (Collette and Berry, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR13\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e1965\u003c/span\u003e) and the remaining are exclusively marine, except \u003cem\u003eStrongylura\u003c/em\u003e, in which some species can enter freshwater habitats, while some are restricted to freshwater habitats (Collette, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR9\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e1984\u003c/span\u003e).

We have collected a few specimens from Andaman and Nicobar Isles for their resemblance with other species of Belonidae. The partial sequencing of the mitochondrial Cytochrome oxidase I (COI) gene provided distinguishing results that confirmed the existence of a new genus and species of Belonidae. The maximum likelihood of clustering approaches based on mitochondrial COI has shown a monophyletic genetic cluster of a new genus separate from the currently known genera. The inter-species genetic distance (10 to 18.1%) among genera has further signified the distinctness of the new genus identified from the Indian Ocean. The present study aims to validate the new genus and species using integrated taxonomic tools in comparison with other closely related species that have been documented throughout this oceanic region.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"header":"2.

Hence literature records were scoured for comparison among genera (Talwar and Kacker, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR53\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e1984\u003c/span\u003e).

The new genus \u003cem\u003eMagnaluscus\u003c/em\u003e only resembles \u003cem\u003eAblennes\u003c/em\u003e in having prominent vertical bars and differs by having a rounded body shape (Fig.\u0026nbsp;\u003cspan refid=\"Fig2\" class=\"InternalRef\"\u003e2\u003c/span\u003e). The absence of gill rakers and lateral keel on the caudal peduncle differentiates it from \u003cem\u003ePlatybelone\u003c/em\u003e (Collette, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR10\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e1999\u003c/span\u003e). The caudal fin is lightly forked in \u003cem\u003eMagnaluscus\u003c/em\u003e compared to the deeply forked caudal fin in \u003cem\u003eAblennes\u003c/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eTylosurus.\u003c/em\u003e It is wholly different from rounded or truncated fins in \u003cem\u003eStrongylura\u003c/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eXenentodon\u003c/em\u003e. In \u003cem\u003eTylosurus\u003c/em\u003e small, weak-pigmented lateral keels are easily discernible (Fig.\u0026nbsp;\u003cspan refid=\"Fig4\" class=\"InternalRef\"\u003e4\u003c/span\u003e). Other morphological similarities and dissimilarities between the 5 genera are remarked upon in the genus description above. In regards to the measurements, the jaw length in \u003cem\u003eMagnaluscus\u003c/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eStrongylura\u003c/em\u003e are the longest, while \u003cem\u003eXenentodon\u003c/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eAblennes\u003c/em\u003e have moderate jaws, \u003cem\u003eTylosurus\u003c/em\u003e has the least jaw length (Fig.\u0026nbsp;\u003cspan refid=\"Fig3\" class=\"InternalRef\"\u003e3\u003c/span\u003e \u0026amp; Table\u0026nbsp;\u003cspan refid=\"Tab3\" class=\"InternalRef\"\u003e3\u003c/span\u003e).\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe head length (in % SL) is greatest in \u003cem\u003eStrongylura\u003c/em\u003e ranging from 36\u0026ndash;39% (rounded values), which fall into the range (38\u0026ndash;40) from earlier studies by Roul et al. (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR47\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2019c\u003c/span\u003e). In \u003cem\u003eMagnaluscus\u003c/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eXenentodon\u003c/em\u003e it is comparatively less (35\u0026ndash;36), and in \u003cem\u003eTylosurus\u003c/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eAblennes\u003c/em\u003e it is least (\u0026le;\u0026thinsp;30), similar to earlier studies (Sinis, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR52\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2005\u003c/span\u003e; Roul et al. \u003cspan citationid=\"CR45\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2019a\u003c/span\u003e; Fortic et al. 2023). While comparing the head width (in % HL) among the genera (Table. 6), \u003cem\u003eMagnaluscus\u003c/em\u003e followed by \u003cem\u003eTylosurus\u003c/em\u003e have the highest width; \u003cem\u003eAblennes\u003c/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eXenentodon\u003c/em\u003e have moderate head width, and \u003cem\u003eStrongylura\u003c/em\u003e the least. The head depth (in % HL) is largest in \u003cem\u003eAblennes\u003c/em\u003e (20\u0026ndash;22), followed by \u003cem\u003eTylosurus\u003c/em\u003e (17\u0026ndash;19), and \u003cem\u003eXenentodon\u003c/em\u003e (15\u0026ndash;16). \u003cem\u003eStrongylura\u003c/em\u003e has moderate values (11\u0026ndash;17), which may be due to variation from a greater number of species. \u003cem\u003eMagnaluscus\u003c/em\u003e have the smallest head depth (13\u0026ndash;14) among the genera. The head depth observed in the collected specimen is near to range from earlier studies (Dhanze et al. \u003cspan citationid=\"CR16\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2018\u003c/span\u003e; Roul et al. \u003cspan citationid=\"CR46\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2019b\u003c/span\u003e) (Table. 3).\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe snout (Preorbital) (in % HL) is longest in \u003cem\u003eStrongylura\u003c/em\u003e (65\u0026ndash;72), and \u003cem\u003eAblennes\u003c/em\u003e (63\u0026ndash;71), least in \u003cem\u003eMagnaluscus\u003c/em\u003e gen. nov., and \u003cem\u003eXenentodon\u003c/em\u003e (61\u0026ndash;63). The snout length (in % SL) of \u003cem\u003eA. hians\u003c/em\u003e in a study from Bangladesh (Akash et al. \u003cspan citationid=\"CR3\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2021\u003c/span\u003e) matches the present study range. \u003cem\u003ePlatybelone\u003c/em\u003e is known for its large eyes, i.e., 1.3 to 2.1 times in post-orbital distance (Talwar and Kacker, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR53\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e1984\u003c/span\u003e) but \u003cem\u003eMagnaluscus\u003c/em\u003e has an even larger eye size of 2.3 times in post-orbital distance. Eye diameter (in % HL) is very large in \u003cem\u003eMagnaluscus\u003c/em\u003e (11\u0026ndash;12). \u003cem\u003eTylosurus\u003c/em\u003e is a close second (9\u0026ndash;10) in eye diameter. It is of moderate size and similar range in \u003cem\u003eAblennes\u003c/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eXenentodon\u003c/em\u003e (8-8.9). \u003cem\u003eStrongylura\u003c/em\u003e exhibits the widest range in eye-diameter values (6\u0026ndash;11). One of the key characters the inter-orbital width (in % HL), is high in \u003cem\u003eTylosurus\u003c/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eMagnaluscus\u003c/em\u003e; moderate in \u003cem\u003eAblennes\u003c/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eXenentodon\u003c/em\u003e; and widely varied in \u003cem\u003eStrongylura\u003c/em\u003e (7.5\u0026ndash;13).

Lateral line counts are highest in \u003cem\u003eAblennes\u003c/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eTylosurus\u003c/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eXenentodon\u003c/em\u003e, and moderate in \u003cem\u003eMagnaluscus\u003c/em\u003e. Pre-dorsal scales in \u003cem\u003eAblennes\u003c/em\u003e are the highest ranging from 431 to 715, moderate in \u003cem\u003eMagnaluscus\u003c/em\u003e (228 to 242), and least in \u003cem\u003eStrongylura\u003c/em\u003e (135 to 196). The counts in the present study are concordant with earlier studies by Collette et al. (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR14\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2018\u003c/span\u003e), Dhanze et al. (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR16\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2018\u003c/span\u003e), Akash et al. (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR3\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2021\u003c/span\u003e), Roul et al. 2019 a,b,c), Fortic et al. (2023). The \u003cem\u003eMagnaluscus mariae\u003c/em\u003e sp. nov. is so far only known from Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Indian Ocean. It is the sole species in the genus till date, no other species have been found apart from this. It is distributed in shallow waters up to 2 m depth. The measurements and counts encountered in the present study fall within the ranges described by earlier reports (Collette, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR9\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e1984\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR10\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e1999\u003c/span\u003e; Talwar and Kacker, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR53\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e1984\u003c/span\u003e).\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe phylogenetic studies conducted by Lovejoy (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR31\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e1999\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR32\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2000\u003c/span\u003e) were able to differentiate a clade from New World genera. Lovejoy and Collette (\u003cspan citationid=\"CR33\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2001\u003c/span\u003e) using an integrative taxonomic approach have further explored the phylogenetic relationships. In this study, the congruence of the phylogenetic trees resulting from the Mitochondrial COI marker with identical topology as \u003cem\u003eMagnaluscus mariae\u003c/em\u003e sp. nov. belonged to a single clade, and the sequences of other genera from GenBank clustered in a separate supportive clade with an inter genus genetic distance greater than 10 percentage. The p-distance between \u003cem\u003eMagnaluscus\u003c/em\u003e gen. nov. and other genera in Belonidae was more than the threshold genetic distances generally considered as intergeneric distances used for species delimitation and validation in needle fishes (Lovejoy \u003cspan citationid=\"CR32\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2000\u003c/span\u003e; Lovejoy 2004: Lovejoy and Collette \u003cspan citationid=\"CR33\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2001\u003c/span\u003e). Molecular analysis revealed that \u003cem\u003eMagnaluscus\u003c/em\u003e gen nov shows maximum likeliness with \u003cem\u003eAblennes\u003c/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eTylosurus\u003c/em\u003e. 10.5, and 11.5\u0026ndash;13, intergeneric differences with \u003cem\u003eAblennes\u003c/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eTylosurus\u003c/em\u003e itself remarkably keep the newly proposed genus entirely different from other Belonidae. An inter-generic distance of 21.1 shows maximum divergence from a species of Old-World clade like \u003cem\u003ePetalichthys capensis\u003c/em\u003e. Earlier studies have proven the role of geography in restricting gene flow and the resultant genetic variations that arise as a result of these barriers (Lovejoy and de Ara\u0026uacute;jo, 2000). Hence \u003cem\u003eMagnaluscus\u003c/em\u003e gen. nov. can be interred as an advanced belonid, placing it firmly with the likes of \u003cem\u003eAblennes, Tylosurus\u003c/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eStrongylura\u003c/em\u003e. Further surveys and studies are required to unveil more details about this novel species like ecological differences and evolutionary relationships between \u003cem\u003eMagnaluscus\u003c/em\u003e gen. nov. and related genera.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"header":"Declarations","content":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe gratefully acknowledge Dr. Grinson George, Director, Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute, Kochi for providing the space for research.

The new species \u003cem\u003eM. mariae\u003c/em\u003e is characterized by near opposite insertions of dorsal and anal fins, shallow body, vertebrae (74\u0026ndash;76), dorsal fin count (19\u0026ndash;20), anal fin count (18\u0026ndash;19) and branchiostegal rays (16). Molecular phylogenetic analysis also supported the morphological delimitation. The analysis of partial mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I gene sequences indicates the existence of a monophyletic clade different from other known genera. The inter-generic distance calculated using the Kimura 2 parameter is 10 to 18%. \u003cem\u003eAblennes\u003c/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eTylosurus\u003c/em\u003e are closely related to new \u003cem\u003egenus\u003c/em\u003e (10\u0026ndash;12%) but can be differentiated using unique morphological features like laterally compressed body in the case of \u003cem\u003eAblennes\u003c/em\u003e and the presence of weak, pigmented lateral keels in \u003cem\u003eTylosurus\u003c/em\u003e.\u003c/p\u003e","manuscriptTitle":"Integrated taxonomy using mitochondrial markers reveals a new genus and species of Belonidae","msid":"","msnumber":"","nonDraftVersions":[{"code":1,"date":"2025-10-20 09:43:41","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-7450812/v1","editorialEvents":[{"type":"communityComments","content":0},{"type":"reviewerAgreed","content":"","date":"2025-10-09T15:45:42+00:00","index":0,"fulltext":""},{"type":"reviewersInvited","content":"","date":"2025-10-07T18:00:50+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"editorInvited","content":"Marine Biodiversity","date":"2025-09-24T19:56:12+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"editorAssigned","content":"","date":"2025-09-05T04:33:46+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"submitted","content":"Marine Biodiversity","date":"2025-08-25T03:27:30+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""}],"status":"published","journal":{"display":true,"email":"[email protected]","identity":"marine-biodiversity","isNatureJournal":false,"hasQc":true,"allowDirectSubmit":false,"externalIdentity":"marb","sideBox":"Learn more about [Marine Biodiversity](http://link.springer.com/journal/12526)","snPcode":"12526","submissionUrl":"https://www.editorialmanager.com/marb/default2.aspx","title":"Marine Biodiversity","twitterHandle":"","acdcEnabled":true,"dfaEnabled":true,"editorialSystem":"em","reportingPortfolio":"Springer Hybrid","inReviewEnabled":true,"inReviewRevisionsEnabled":false}}],"origin":"","ownerIdentity":"a2a14fa2-7939-46b6-9d11-3da3f6398b4e","owner":[],"postedDate":"October 20th, 2025","published":true,"recentEditorialEvents":[],"rejectedJournal":[],"revision":"","amendment":"","status":"under-review","subjectAreas":[],"tags":[],"updatedAt":"2025-10-20T09:43:42+00:00","versionOfRecord":[],"versionCreatedAt":"2025-10-20 09:43:41","video":"","vorDoi":"","vorDoiUrl":"","workflowStages":[]},"version":"v1","identity":"rs-7450812","journalConfig":"researchsquare"},"__N_SSP":true},"page":"/article/[identity]/[[...version]]","query":{"redirect":"/article/rs-7450812","identity":"rs-7450812","version":["v1"]},"buildId":"8U1c8b4HqxoKbykW_rLl7","isFallback":false,"isExperimentalCompile":false,"dynamicIds":[84888],"gssp":true,"scriptLoader":[]}
