Abstract

The present study contributes to update the checklist of Lanternfishes species of the genus Diaphus known to occur in the tropical southwestern Pacific. The findings are based on material collected from six recent oceanographic cruises of RV Alis in the Coral Sea, the Fiji Basin and the Wallis and Futuna Exclusive Economic Zone (EZZ). Diaphus spp. samples were obtained using pelagic trawl nets. We identified 20 species of the genus Diaphus. Specimens morphologically closest to D. termophilus and belonging to a possibly undescribed species were also sampled from the Wallis and Futuna waters, highlighting persisting gaps in our knowledge regarding this ecologically important group of fishes. Our collection of specimens, all preserved for DNA extraction, will be useful to complement the current Diaphus barcode database for the tropical southwestern Pacific.
