A new species of Galaxias (Pisces:Galaxiidae) from Chatham Island, New Zealand

C. P. Mitchell*

A new species of galaxiid fish from a peat lake on Chatham Island is described. This small freshwater fish is sufficiently distinct to have no obvious close relatives from among the other species of Galaxias in New Zealand. It is readily identified by the presence of pronounced caudal flanges and a moderately forked caudal fin.

Keywords: Galaxias rekohua; Chatham Islands; new species; taxonomy
