  abstract = {{M}elanotaenia salawati n. sp. is described from 16 specimens collected at {S}alawati {I}sland in the {R}aja {A}mpat {G}roup lying immediately west of the {B}ird's {H}ead {P}eninsula in {W}est {P}apua ({I}ndonesia). {M}elanotaenia salawati is allied to {M}. batanta and {M}. fredericki. {M}elanotaentia batanta occurs in the central part of {B}atanta, an island just north of {S}alawati while {M}. fredericki is found on the westernmost portion of the {B}ird's {H}ead {P}eninsula. {T}he trio have a similar general body shape and lack pronounced sexual dimorphism. {M}elanotaenia salawati is distinguished from {M}. batanta by a shorter snout, a longer caudal peduncle, a longer dorsal-fin base, a longer second dorsal-fin base and more cheek scales. {T}he new species differs from {M}. fredericki by a longer snout, a larger interorbital region, a shorter spine on second dorsal fin, a longer anal-fin base, more cheek scales and more gillrakers on the first branchial arch.},
