Abstract An annotated checklist of marine and freshwater fishes of Tanega-shima and Mage-shima islands in the Osumi Islands, Kagoshima Prefecture, southern Japan, was compiled from specimen and literature surveys. A
total of 1,181 species (538 genera and 167 families), including 536 species that
represent the first reliable records from the islands on the basis of collected
specimens and/or underwater photographs, is listed with citation of literature,registration numbers, sizes, localities on the islands, and some remarks. A new
standard Japanese name, Omeagoamadai, is proposed here for Opistognathus
megalops Smith-Vaniz 2023 (Opistognathidae). Analysis of the species composition of fishes that occur on and off Tanega-shima and Mage-shima islands
shows that the ichthyofauna of the islands is similar to that of the Pacific coastof southern Japan, including southern Kyushu, but significantly different fromthat of the neighboring island, Yaku-shima.

Introduction
Tanega-shima, a long and narrow island, measuring 57.2 km north to south and 5–12 km east to west,
with an area of ca. 444 km2 and a highest point of 282 m above sea level, is the second largest island in theOsumi Islands after Yaku-shima island. The Osumi Islands is located between Kyushu and the Tokara Islands, southern Japan (Fig. 1). The coastline of the island stretches about 186 km, with sandy beaches, mangrove tidal flats, rocky reefs, well-developed coral reefs, and there are numerous freshwater rivers and pondson the island.
Mage-shima, a small rounded island, with an area of ca. 8.2 km2, circumference of 16.5 km, and a highest point of ca. 72 m above sea level, is the largest uninhabited island in the Osumi Islands (larger than thesmallest inhabited island, Take-shima island), and located 12 km west of northern Tanega-shima island. The
island has only rocky coastline, and there are no large freshwater rivers on the island (only few artificial
small rivers and reservoires). In 1951, agricultural pioneer groups began settling on the island as part of an
Emergency Pioneering Project. At its peak in 1959, the island was home to 528 people in 113 households,
who were engaged in sugarcane cultivation and dairy farming. In March 1980, the last of the islanders
moved out of the island, and the island has been uninhabited since then. The Ministry of Defense has begun
construction of the Air Self-Defense Force Mage-shima Base in 2023.
The history of research on the fish diversity of Tanega-shima island is relatively old, dating back morethan 100 years. In 1904–1905, Roberto Anderson, a graduate student at Stanford University, collected many
fishes in tide pools on Tanega-shima island and brought them back to the United States. Based on the specimens, Praealticus tanegasimae (standard Japanese name: Tanegimpo; named after Tanega-shima) and otherspecies were described by Jordan and Starks (1906) as new species, and this paper was the first record of fish
diversity on the island. In 1908, Callogobius tanegasimae (Tanehaze), also named after Tanega-shima, wasdescribed by Snyder (1908), and then a series of papers were published by foreigners. The first report on thefishes of Tanega-shima island by a Japanese was probably by Kuroiwa (1927). He recorded seven speciesof fishes from the freshwater areas of Tanega-shima island. Since then, many papers and books on fishes of
Tanega-shima island, including Yoshigou (2014) and Kaburagi (2016), were published. Yoshigou (2014)
reported 87 fishes from estuaries and rivers on Tanega-shima island on the basis of literature (e.g., Ogawa
1937; Sakai et al. 2001; Suzuki et al. 2004). Kaburagi (2016) provided color photographs of 287 species collected by himself from Tanega-shima island, and he donated 703 specimens, including some specimens usedin Kaburagi (2016), to the Kagoshima University Museum. Most recently, in 2023, Etelis boweni Andrews,
Fernandez-Silva, Randall and Ho 2021 and Opistognathus megalops Smith-Vaniz 2023 were recorded forthe first time from Japan based on specimens from Tanega-shima island (Jeong et al. 2023) and described asa new species based on a holotype from the island (Smith-Vaniz 2023), respectively. As of July 2023, 645
species have been recorded from Tanega-shima island. In addition to the literature survey, 10,300 specimensfrom Tanega-shima and Mage-shima islands (deposited at the Kagoshima University Museum) obtained
through donations by local people and field surveys led by the Kagoshima University Museum were examined during this study.
Examination of the above-mentioned specimens, published literature (plus examination of some specimens used in the literature), and unpublished underwater photographs taken at Tanega-shima and Mage-shima islands confirmed 1,181 species (538 genera and 167 families) of marine and freshwater fishes (plus one
hybrid individual), including 536 new records, from the islands. All species are listed below. The islands
have the third highest fish species diversity in Japan (Motomura 2016) after Amami-oshima (see Nakae etal. 2018) and Yaku-shima islands (see Motomura and Harazaki 2017), and further species discoveries from
Tanega-shima and Mage-shima islands are expected through future surveys.
Material and methods
Sampling methods were described and illustrated in Motomura and Matsuura (2010, 2014). Curatorial
procedures for newly collected specimens followed Motomura and Ishikawa (2013). Standard length, total

length, and desk width are abbreviated as SL, TL, and DW, respectively. The systematic arrangement of families generally follows Nelson (2006). Scientific names generally follow Fricke et al. (2023), with some modifications given by Motomura (2023) following recently published or unpublished taxonomic studies. Withinfamilies, species are arranged in alphabetical order of the scientific name. Standard Japanese names generally follow Motomura (2023), having been transliterated using the Hepburn system. Each species record wascompiled from voucher specimens, underwater photographs, and/or published literature. Registration number, number of specimens registered (if more than one), mm in SL, TL, or DW, and locality on Tanega-shima
and Mage-shima islands (Fig. 2) are listed in each species record. These islands have one city and two towns:
Nishinoomote City (on Mage-shima island and northern Tanega-shima island), Nakatane Town (middle of
Tanega-shima island), and Minamitane Town (southern Tanega-shima island). Tanega-shima and Mage-shima islands are abbreviated as TSI and MSI, respectively. The localities of marine and freshwater fishes areindicated as names of “port or beach, town, island (e.g., Shimama Port, Minamitane, TSI)” and “river, town,
island (e.g., Takeno River, Nakatane, TSI)”, respectively. The locality is expressed simply as “off TSI” or “offMSI” for fish(es) collected far off the island or if the precise locality on the island is unknown.

ridae, and Serranidae (the last family was replaced with Pomacentridae in the other localities) (Motomura
2016; Jeong and Motomura 2021), which are well consitent with those of Tanega-shima and Mage-shimaislands (Table 1). In addition, Carangidae was included in the top 10 most speciose families only in the
Sagami Sea (10th, 2.1%), Osezaki (10th, 2.5%), the Ogasawara Islands (7th, 3.6%), and Tanega-shima andMage-shima islands (6th, 3.3%), the percentages being somewhat higher at lower latitudes in Japanese waters. Interestingly, in Japanese waters, Lutjanidae was included in the top 10 most speciose families only in
the Ogasawara Islands (8th, 3.4%), and Tanega-shima and Mage-shima islands (7th, 2.8%). Thus, the ichthyofauna of Tanega-shima and Mage-shima islands (Table 1) is similar to that of the Sagami Sea, Osezaki, andthe Ogasawara Islands among the 20 localities in Japan.
A recent fine scale cluster analysis, based on comprehensive ichthyofaunal surveys in the Ryukyu andOsumi islands and the Pacific coast of southern Japanese mainland, revealed that a major biogeographicalboundary for southern Japanese marine fishes [Osumi Line sensu Motomura and Harazaki (2017: 182, fig.
1)] is located between Yaku-shima, and “Tanega-shima, Iwo-jima, and Take-shima islands” (Motomura andMatsunuma 2022), although the distance separating Yaku-shima and Tanega-shima islands is only about 20
km. The similarity between the ichthyofaunas of Yaku-shima island and the Ryukyu Islands is most likely
due to the transportation of tropical fishes from Taiwan, China, and/or the Philippines to Yaku-shima islandby the Kuroshio Current (Motomura et al. 2010; Motomura 2012; Motomura and Matsunuma 2022). Suchtransported fishes (including egg stages) are easily projected northward toward Yaku-shima island by theredirection of the Kuroshio Current from northward to eastward (Motomura and Matsunuma 2022: fig. 4.1).
In contrast, fewer opportunities exist for transported fishes to arrive off Tanega-shima island since the latter
is located inside the bend where the Kuroshio Current turns from eastward to northward, such fishes being
more likely to be projected eastward into the Pacific Ocean (Motomura and Matsunuma 2022).
Tanega-shima island is the southernmost distribution limit for many temperate marine fishes, such as
Hemitrygon akajei (Dasyatidae), Scorpaenopsis cirrosa (Scorpaenidae), Sebastiscus marmoratus (Sebastidae), Pagrus major (Sparidae), Halichoeres tenuispinis (Labridae), Acanthogobius flavimanus (Gobiidae),and Paralichthys olivaceus (Paralichthyidae) (Motomura 2015; Motomura and Matsunuma 2022: fig. 4.10),
which also supports the existence of a distinct biogeographical boundary between Yaku-shima and Tanegashima islands. The ichthyofauna of Tanega-shima island is very similar to that of southern Kyushu, as
revealed by ongoing ichthyofaunal surveys. In fact, fishes of southern Kyushu may be transported to Tanega-shima island by the Osumi Branch Current, which occurs irregularly between Osumi Peninsula and theOsumi Islands. A further consideration, since Osumi Peninsula and Tanega-shima island were connected byland until ca. 130,000 years BP (Ôki 2000), is that some temperate fishes found at Tanega-shima island may
represent relictual populations (Motomura 2012; Motomura and Matsunuma 2022).

Remarks: Although Kano and Tatsuzawa (2003) reported that two genetic populations of this species
were found in Mage-shima island, DNA analysis of newly collected specimens from the island in 2022 by
an environment assessment company showed that the two genotypes had become intermingled throughinterbreeding. The population size of this species on this island is quite large.

Opistognathus megalops Smith-Vaniz 2023
[New standard Japanese name: Omeagoamadai] (Fig. 3)
Smith-Vaniz (2023): KAUM–I. 97065, holotype of Opistognathus megalops, 88.0 mm SL, off Urata,
Nishinoomote, TSI. This study: KAUM–I. 97065, holotype of Opistognathus megalops, 88.0 mm SL, off
Urata, Nishinoomote, TSI.
Remarks: This species recently described as a new species from the holotype collected off Urata,
Nishinoomote at a depth of 103–107 m can be distinguished from all other congeners by having an upper
jaw with a flexible lamina posteriorly, a relatively large oval supramaxillae, 11 segmented dorsal-fin rays,
11 segmented anal-fin rays, 38 total gill rakers in adults, 16 caudal vertebrae, and no ocellus in the dorsal
fin (Smith-Vaniz 2023). English name Bigeye Jawfish was proposed by Smith-Vaniz (2023) for the species.
Ome-agoamadai ( オオメアゴアマダイ ) is proposed here as the standard Japanese name for Opistognathus
megalops on the basis of holotype of the species (KAUM–I. 97065).

Remarks: Although Sphyraena japonica Cuvier in Cuvier and Valenciennes 1829 has long been used for
Yamato-kamasu, it is objectively invalid because it has been preoccupied by Sphyraena japonica Bloch andSchneider 1801 [unnecessary replacement name for Silurus inermis Houttuyn 1782 and currently regarded asa synonym of Inegocia japonica (Cuvier 1829) (Platycephalidae)]. Taxonomic status of Yamato-kamasu has
been studied by Morishita and Motomura.
