<p>A review of collections of triplefin blennies of the genus Enneanectes from the tropical western Atlantic Ocean<br>
reveals a new species, Enneanectes quadra n. sp., belonging to the scaled-belly subgroup. The species is<br>
distinguished by a lightly marked head, a mostly square dark bar on the caudal peduncle that is much darker than<br>
the other body bars, a short first dorsal fin, and no scales on the preopercle. The species is apparently uncommon<br>
and has been found to date in the Bahamas, St. Croix and Antigua in the Lesser Antilles, and in the western<br>
Caribbean Sea at Yucatán (Mexico), Honduras, Belize, and Providencia. The mtDNA barcode COI sequence is<br>
12.1% divergent from its nearest relative. Some specimens of the new species in museums have been identified<br>
as “E. jordani”, but a forensic-type reexamination of the status of Enneanectes jordani (Evermann & Marsh,<br>
1899) reveals the type specimens to be the same species as the common Enneanectes pectoralis Fowler, 1941,<br>
and Enneanectes jordani now becomes the senior synonym for that widespread species. A phenetic NJ tree of<br>
mtDNA sequences and a revised key to the eight current species of Enneanectes in the Greater Caribbean region<br>
is presented.</p>
