Abstract
This
study reports the occurrence of two species of Lethrinus (family Lethrinidae) on the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia. The specimens were caught by commercial bottom trawlers operating in the southern part of the
South China Sea and landed at several fish landing ports. Lethrinus semicinctusValenciennes,
1830 and Lethrinus olivaceus Valenciennes, 1830, previously known from Borneo,
with the latter also occurring in the Straits of Malacca on the west coast of
Peninsular Malaysia, are now documented as new records of geographic range in
the northeastern coast of Peninsular Malaysia. These
records add to published Malaysian literature with photographic records,
locality details, collection numbers and preserved specimens. Diagnostic
characters for both species are given, as well as detailed morphometric and
meristic data.

Abstrak
Kajian ini melaporkan kehadiran dua spesies Lethrinus (family Lethrinidae)
di pantai timur Semenanjung Malaysia. Spesimen telah ditangkap dengan bot pukat tunda dasar komersial yang beroperasi di bahagian selatan Laut China Selatan dan mendarat di beberapa pelabuhan pendaratan ikan. Lethrinus semicinctusValenciennes, 1830 dan Lethrinus olivaceus Valenciennes, 1830, sebelum ini diketahui dari Borneo, dengan yang terakhir juga hadir di Selat Melaka di pantai barat Semenanjung Malaysia, kini telah didokumentasikan sebagai rekod baharu bagi julat geografi di pantai timur laut Semenanjung Malaysia. Rekod ini menambah kepustakaan Malaysia
yang diterbitkan dengan rekod fotografi, butiran lokaliti, nombor koleksi dan spesimen yang diawet. Sifat diagnostik untuk kedua-dua spesies diberikan, serta data morfometrik dan meristik yang terperinci.
Kata kunci: Biogeografi; ikan marin; Laut China Selatan; Lethrinidae; rekod baharu
