A new species of Lipogramma from deep reefs of Roatan, Honduras (Teleostei, Grammatidae)
A new species of Lipogramma is described from submersible collections at 122–165 m depth off the coast of Roatan, Honduras, in the western Caribbean. The new species is distinguished from all other species in the genus by its bright blue coloration on the head, nape, and dorsal por...
