Abstract
In the offshore waters of Shantou, Guangdong Province, in the northern part of the South China Sea, a specimen belonging to the genus Halieutaea was collected at a depth of about 100 meters. It is similar to the known Halieutaea fitzsimonsi but also has some differences. Hence, this specimen is considered a neotype named Halieutaea liui sp. nov. The neotype can be distinguished from Halieutaea fitzsimonsi by the following external features: a prominent snout, a shorter peduncle, and unevenly distributed bony spines on the dorsal side of the disc. In addition, methods of distinguishing 13 known species of Halieutaea (including Halieutaea liui sp. nov.) by their appearance characteristics are cldwarified.
