Abstract

Lobocheilos falcifer (Valenciennes, 1842) is a freshwater fish endemic to the island of Java, Indonesia, and has been assessed as Vulnerable according to the International Union for the Conservation of Nature criteria. In May 2022, a male specimen of L. falcifer was collected in the Way Sekampung River, Lampung Province, Sumatra, Indonesia. This represents the first record of this species outside of Java. This new record expanded the species distribution about 300 km to the north, and to an additional island within the Indonesian archipelago. The occurrence of this species on the island of Sumatra likely changes its conservation status; thus, new conservation actions may be more appropriate for the species and its known populations. The presence of L. falcifer on separate islands indicates that biogeographic interpretations of Indonesian fishes may change and highlights the need for urgent study of freshwater biodiversity in the region.

印度尼西亚苏门答腊易危淡水鱼Lobocheilos falcifer (valciennes, 1842)(铁骨鱼，鲤科)的首次记录

Lobocheilos falcifer (Valenciennes, 1842)是印度尼西亚爪哇岛特有的淡水鱼，根据国际自然保护联盟的标准，已被评估为易危物种。2022年5月，在印度尼西亚苏门答腊岛楠榜省的Way Sekampung河收集了一具雄性恶性乳杆菌标本。这是该物种在爪哇以外的首次记录。这一新记录将物种分布范围向北扩展了约300公里，并扩展到了印度尼西亚群岛内的另一个岛屿。该物种在苏门答腊岛的出现可能改变了其保护状况;因此，新的保护措施可能更适合该物种及其已知种群。falcifer在不同岛屿上的存在表明，对印度尼西亚鱼类的生物地理解释可能会发生变化，并突出了该地区淡水生物多样性研究的迫切需要。

期刊介绍： Check List is a peer-reviewed online journal, devoted to publishing biodiversity data related to species’ geographic distribution. Thus, our primary mission if to fill the so-called Wallacean shortfall (Lomolino 2004) and to improve our knowledge of how life is distributed on the planet in order to better preserve it. These data are essential for studies on biogeography and provide a baseline for the conservation of biodiversity. The first step to undertaking effective conservation action is to maintain records of the distribution of species. Therefore, the journal was created from the need publish basic data on species distribution of any taxon in a timely and open manner, which are often neglected by traditional journals. Check List is a bimonthly peer-reviewed online journal, and will consider for publication: -distribution summaries of a supraspecific taxon in a broad geographic area (e.g., hemisphere, country, biome), as a review of the distribution of a taxon in the given area. -annotated list of species, of a given taxon in a strict geographic area, with comments and illustrations on the identifications, based on original data. -notes on the geographic distribution, reporting new records of one or more species while providing a complete overview on the known distribution of the treated taxa. -book reviews on books related to biodiversity, biogeography, niche modeling, or any associated field that uses species distribution as its primary data source. -opinions on relevant subjects for the journal’s mission and scope
