Abstract

The creation of a collection of type specimens of fishes of the National Museum of Natural History NAS of Ukraine has started in 1974. In the following years, the collection of fish type specimens of the Zoological Museum was enriched by both national and foreign specialists such as E. E. Meisner, L. G. Manilo, G. A. Shandikov, D. A. Didier and M. Stehmann, M. R. De Carvalho and others. Some of these specimens (holotypes and paratypes of eight cartilaginous and bony fishes described at that time) were included into the first catalogue of type specimens of all groups of invertebrates and vertebrates of the Zoological Museum (Catalogue… 2001). This catalogue includes information on 73 type specimens of fishes (10 holotypes and 63 paratypes) belonging to 12 species of 6 families: Acroteriobatus stehmanni Weigmann,Ebert, Séret, 2021; Raja taaf Meisner, 1987; Torpedo adenensis Carvalho, Stehmann, Manilo, 2002; Neoharriotta pumila Didier, Stehmann, 1996; Channichthys aelitae Shandikov, 1995; Channichthys bospori Shandikov, 1995; Channichthys irinae Shandikov, 1995; Channichthys mithridatis Shandikov,2008; Channichthys panticapaei Shandikov,1995; Channichthys richardsoni Shandikov, 2011; Channichthys velifer Meisner, 1974; Parapercis ventromaculata Manilo, 1990, stored in the fish collection of the National Museum of Natural History NAS of Ukraine. Two taxa were not found in the collection: the holotype of Arius dayi Dmitrenko, 1974 (lost), as well as the holotype and paratypes of Romanogobio albipinnatus tanaiticus Naseka, 2001 (not received from the author of the description). The number of paratypes of each species (subspecies) is given according to their presence in the collection as of the time of compilation of this catalogue. In the text, after the Latin name of species (subspecies), the following information is given: collection record number, number of paratype specimens, length (standard or absolute) in millimetres, full label information including water body, coordinates, name of the vessel and cruise number, depth, trawl (station) number, date of collection, and name of collectors.

Key words: type specimens, fish collection, museum, Kyiv, Ukraine.
