Here, new records are reported from Taiwan, which is located over 7,000 km from the previously known site of occurrence. Nucleotide sequences at the cytochrome b locus of the Taiwanese samples of G. oblongus were provided and compared to those of the conspecific New Caledonian samples. The results showed little intraspecific DNA variation among the sequences (only three segregating sites along the 1140 bp long aligned sequences). Further population genetic analysis revealed a relatively high level of genetic differentiation (ΦST = 0.286) indicating limited gene flow between the two populations. The records thus available suggest a wide and antitropical distribution for this relatively rare and poorly known species. In addition to this finding, we report the first Taiwanese records of Gymnocranius satoi Borsa, Béarez, Paijo and Chen 2013, and of two undetermined Gymnocranius specimens that potentially represent two new species. specialized POISSON MARIN ESPECE NOUVELLE REPARTITION GEOGRAPHIQUE DIVERSITE SPECIFIQUE NOUVELLE CALEDONIE TAIWAN PACIFIQUE 034BIOVER01 3 art. no 107 [8 ] 2016 2296-7745 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010067422 10.3389/fmars.2016.00107 2296-7745 [F B010067422] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010067422 https://horizon.documentation.ird.fr/exl-doc/pleins_textes/divers17-01/010067422.pdf IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2017-01-19 2017-02-06 fdi:010067422 fre
