- Abstract
Parupeneus fraserorum is described as a new species of mullid fish from three specimens collected off the coast of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa in 39-57 m. Five additional specimens taken by trawl in 81 m off southeastern Madagascar are listed as non-type material. This species is most similar to P. chrysopleuron, known from Japan to Western Australia, which differs in having an asymmetrical maxilla, a higher and more pointed first dorsal fin, and larger size (223 mm SL, compared to 166.5 mm).
