001787F95E54B17AFF121BAEE5A0F9DA.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Trigonostigma truncata, new species, is most similar to T. heteromorpha, in having a large black axine starting from approximately mid-body with dorsal apex near dorsal-fin origin, ventral apex near pelvic-fin origin, and caudal apex near caudal-fin base; this axine being the largest amongst all congeners. Trigonostigma truncata differs from T. heteromorpha in the following characters: a gently sloping lateral head profile to pre-dorsal region (vs. a steep convex lateral profile from posterior of head to predorsal region); sub-superior mouth (vs. terminal mouth); caudal apex of axine not reaching caudal-fin base (vs. reaching and extending to hypural plate); dorsal and ventral apices of axine originate posterior to both dorsal-fin and pelvic-fin origins by up to three scale-widths (vs. dorsal apex starting one scale-width posterior to dorsal-fin origin and ventral apex starting at pelvic-fin origin; see Figs. 4, 5); faint or indistinct brown humeral streak just posterior to opercular opening (vs. a distinct black humeral streak); base of dorsal fin hyaline and its middle reddish-orange in life (vs. anterior two-thirds of fin orange-red); presence of distinct orange-red colour on anal fin in life (vs. faint or absence); having a bluish-lilac sheen on the body in life (vs. reddish or purplish sheen); and having a shallower body (depth at dorsal-fin origin 28.3 – 34.6 % SL [mean 32.4], vs. 32.6 – 38.2 % [mean 35.8]).	en	Hui, Tan Heok (2020): Trigonostigma truncata, a new species of harlequin rasbora from Malay Peninsula (Teleostei: Danionidae).

001787F95E54B17AFF121BAEE5A0F9DA.taxon	etymology	Etymology. From the Latin ‘ truncus ’, meaning cut off, in allusion to the caudal apex of the axine not reaching the base of the caudal-fin. Used as a noun in apposition.	en	Hui, Tan Heok (2020): Trigonostigma truncata, a new species of harlequin rasbora from Malay Peninsula (Teleostei: Danionidae).

001787F95E54B17AFF121BAEE5A0F9DA.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Trigonostigma truncata, new species, can be further differentiated from T. heteromorpha in the following characters: adpressed pectoral fin not reaching pelvic-fin origin (vs. reaching); adpressed pelvic fin not reaching analfin origin (vs. surpassing); more lateral scale count (26 – 30 [mode 27], vs. 25 – 28 [mode 26]); perforated lateral line scales leading horizontally away from head (vs. curving gently downwards away from head); relatively longer head (head length 28.5 – 31.6 % SL [mean 30.2], vs. 27.2 – 31.7 % [mean 28.9]); relatively slimmer caudal region (body depth 22.5 – 29.3 % SL [mean 25.8], vs. 24.4 – 30.2 % [mean 27.9]; caudal peduncle depth 11.0 – 14.5 % SL [mean 12.9], vs. 12.6 – 15.8 % [mean 13.8]); more slender head (head depth 62.1 – 76.9 % HL [mean 69.6], vs. 68.1 – 80.6 % [mean 74.7]; head width 39.4 – 51.9 % HL [mean 46.8], vs. 42.9 – 53.5 % [mean 49.1]); relatively smaller eye (orbital diameter 33.8 – 40.4 % HL [mean 36.8], vs. 35.6 – 44.8 % [mean 40.2]). Trigonostigma truncata, new species, can be differentiated from the other congeners (T. espei, T. hengeli, and T. somphongsi) by having a larger adult size (up to 33.7 mm SL, vs. less than 30 mm); large black axine on body with dorsal and ventral borders not exceeding one scale spacing to edge of body (vs. 1 ½ – 2 ½ scale width). In the naming of the new genus Trigonostigma by Kottelat & Witte (1999: 54, fig. 10), they presented a figure of a preserved specimen of T. heteromorpha which is from the series ZRC 42076. This is actually part of the type series for the new species, T. truncata. The two taxa are so similar that they were misidentified. Collins’ et al. (2012: 6, fig. 4) material of T. heteromorpha consist of seven specimens from two genetic populations, with COI divergence of more than 3 %. They further commented on the presence of orange pigments on the anal fin (supplementary table 1), which is congruent with the present new species; however all of their material is from the ornamental fish trade, which is without precise locality data, and thus of limited use for taxonomical studies.	en	Hui, Tan Heok (2020): Trigonostigma truncata, a new species of harlequin rasbora from Malay Peninsula (Teleostei: Danionidae).

001787F95E50B176FC9418E4E483FDF3.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Trigonostigma heteromorpha shares with T. truncata, new species, a large black axine starting from approximately mid-body with dorsal apex near dorsal-fin origin, ventral apex near pelvic-fin origin, and caudal apex near caudal-fin base; this axine being the largest amongst all congeners. Trigonostigma heteromorpha differs from all congeners in the following combination of characters: a steep sloping lateral head to pre-dorsal region (shared with T. espei, vs. a gentle sloping lateral profile from posterior of head to predorsal region for T. truncata, T. hengeli, and T. somphongsi); terminal mouth (shared with all except T. truncata with a sub-superior mouth); caudal apex of axine reaching caudal-fin base (shared with all except T. truncata with caudal apex not reaching); dorsal and ventral apices of axine originate near to both dorsal-fin and pelvic-fin origins (shared with T. truncata, vs. dorsal apex starting up to three scale-width posterior to dorsal-fin origin and ventral apex starting two scale-width after pelvic-fin origin in T. espei and T. hengeli; axine reduced to thick black stripe in T. somphongsi); dorsal fin with distinct orange / red pigments (shared with T. truncata and T. espei, vs. both T. hengeli and T. somphongsi with almost hyaline dorsal fin); and the largest adult size (up to 35 mm SL).	en	Hui, Tan Heok (2020): Trigonostigma truncata, a new species of harlequin rasbora from Malay Peninsula (Teleostei: Danionidae).

001787F95E50B176FC9418E4E483FDF3.taxon	distribution	Distribution. Trigonostigma heteromorpha is the most widely distributed species of the genus, occurring in Malay Peninsula (Perak, Selangor, Negri Sembilan, Johor, Pahang), Singapore, Sumatra (North Sumatra and Riau provinces), Riau archipelago islands of Batam, Bintan, and Lingga, Bangka island and Belitung island (see Fig. 5). In Sumatra, T. heteromorpha is found only in North Sumatra and Riau provinces and is replaced by T. hengeli in Jambi and South Sumatra provinces (Kottelat & Witte, 1999; Tan & Kottelat, 2009).	en	Hui, Tan Heok (2020): Trigonostigma truncata, a new species of harlequin rasbora from Malay Peninsula (Teleostei: Danionidae).

001787F95E50B176FC9418E4E483FDF3.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Duncker’s (1904) description of T. heteromorpha was based on material collected from Selangor, Negri Sembilan, and Singapore. Locality data for the type series was from Negri Sembilan and this had been clarified by Alfred (1963). No holotype was designated at the time of publication. Ladiges et al. (1958) selected a lectotype from Negri Sembilan, based in Zoological Museum Hamburg (Kottelat, 2013). The locality where Duncker collected T. heteromorpha in Singapore is the Botanical Garden pond (not specified which pond) which is now depleted of T. heteromorpha as the surrounding swamp forest habitats have been destroyed. Surviving populations occur in forest streams and a remnant swamp forest habitat within the Central Catchment Nature Reserve (Ng & Lim, 1997; Ho et al., 2016).	en	Hui, Tan Heok (2020): Trigonostigma truncata, a new species of harlequin rasbora from Malay Peninsula (Teleostei: Danionidae).
