A new species of Neenchelys (Anguilliformes: Ophichthidae: Myrophinae) from the eastern Indian Ocean
Zootaxa, 2015A new worm eel, Neenchelys andamanensis, is described based on a single specimen collected from a depth of 520–531 m, Andaman Sea, eastern Indian Ocean. The new species is similar to N. daedalus, N. nudiceps, and N. similis in its total vertebral count and slender body, however, it differs from the latter three in having a shorter tail (60% TL vs.

New species of the snake eels Echelus and Ophichthus (Anguilliformes: Ophichthidae) from Taiwan
Zootaxa, 2015Three new species of ophichthid eels, subfamily Ophichthinae, are described and illustrated from specimens collected at fish markets in Taiwan. Included are: Echelus polyspondylus sp. nov., which is unique in its vertebral number (172–183), dorsal-fin origin (behind gill openings), and coloration (anal-fin membrane black posteriorly); Ophichthus ...

AbstractThe rice paddy eel, Pisodonophis boro (P. boro), is of special interest because of its peculiar burrowing habits. P. boro penetrates the substrate tail‐first, a technique common for ophichthids, but it is able to burrow head‐first as well. P. boro exhibits three feeding modes: inertial feeding, grasping, and spinning.

A new species of the worm-eel genus Neenchelys (Anguilliformes: Ophichthidae) from southern Taiwan.
Zootaxa, 2015A new ophichthid worm-eel, Neenchelys gracilis sp. nov., is described from a specimen collected from southwestern Taiwan. It differs from its congeners by having: a minute pectoral fin, many filamentous cirri on the anterior nostril rim; a very slender body; a very small gill opening; and a vertebral formula of 30-78-200.
