The order Anguilliformes comprises 15 families, 141 genera and 791 fish species. Eight families had at least one karyotyped species, with a prevalence of 2n = 38 chromosomes and high fundamental numbers (FN). The only exception to this pattern is the family Muraenidae, in which the eight species analyzed presented 2n = 42 chromosomes. Despite of the large number of Anguilliformes species, karyotypic reports are available for only a few representatives. In the present work, a species of Ophichthidae, Myrichthys ocellatus (2n = 38; 8m+14sm+10st+6a; FN = 70) and four species of Muraenidae, Enchelycore nigricans (2n = 42; 6m+8sm+12st+16a; FN = 68), Gymnothorax miliaris (2n = 42; 14m+18sm+10st; FN = 84), G. vicinus (2n = 42; 8m+6sm+28a; FN = 56) and Muraena... |

A new species of Muraenidae (Uroprerygiinae) Channomuraena bauchotae is described from the coastal waters of Reunion Island, Indian Ocean. The genus was considered to be monospecific, Channomuraena vittata (Richardson, 1844) being the only species known till now. C. bauchotae is differentiated by 132 vertebrae, 1 or 0 branchial pore, 5 preoperculomandibular pores, the pre-anal length (91,1 % LT), snout and interocular width larger than 14% of the head, vomerine teeth in a single row, biserial teeth on the jaws.
