Abstract:
A new anchovy species, Stolephorus falco sp. nov., is described based on three museum specimens collected from northern Sumatra, Indonesia. Although the new species resembles S. baganensis Delsman, 1931, S. dubiosus Wongratana, 1983, S. taurus Hata, Lavoué & Motomura, 2022, and S. tri (Bleeker, 1852) in having a predorsal scute and a spine on the pelvic scute, it differs from all four of these taxa in having a distinctively deeper body, fewer scales on the longitudinal series, and additional differences in a number of other characters.

Testing a Claim about Mean: Unknown Population SD
Estimating a population mean requires the samples to be approximately normally distributed. The data should be collected from the randomly selected samples having no sampling bias. There is no specific requirement for sample size. But if the sample size is less than 30, and we don't know the population standard deviation, a different approach is used;...
