  abstract = {{A} new species of rainbowfish ({M}elanotaeniidae) is described from the {B}ird's {H}ead {P}eninsula in {W}est {P}apua ({I}ndonesia). {M}elanotaenia fasinensis is described from the {F}asin {R}iver in the vicinity of {W}een village, 25 km {W} of {L}ake {A}yamaru. {I}t is distinguished from other melanotaeniids occurring on the {P}eninsula and in the adjacent {R}aja {A}mpat {I}slands by a distinct colour, the number of transverse scales, lateral scales, predorsal scales, cheek scales and gillrakers, a short head with a lone and pointed snout, a narrow interorbital region, relatively small eyes, short and slender caudal, long dorsal and anal fins and a moderately short predorsal length, and moderately short pectoral and pelvic fins. {M}elanotaenia fasinensis is morphologically similar to {M}. ajamaruensis, a species that has not been seen since it was first captured in 1955 ({A}llen, 1990), but rediscovered during our expedition in 2007 near {A}jamaru {L}akes. {I}t seems likely that the upstream portion of the {K}aliwensi {R}iver is the last place where {M}. ajamaruensis still survives. {W}e also highlight the alarming depletion of {M}. parva, which is endemic to {K}urumoi {L}ake. {T}his lake is now nearly dry and contains large numbers of exotic tilapia},
