The first printing of the Freshwater Fishes of Western Indonesia and Sulawesi recorded the 964 fish species known to occur in this area
as at December 31, 1991. On-going research by the authors and colleagues has led to the discovery of 79 additional species. As it is not
possible at this stage to include them in this reprint, we are providing hereunder a list of these changes, together with bibliographic ref-
erences, to assist the interested readers.
As explained in the Introduction (p. xxi-xxiii), fish systematics is a dynamic field and the scientific names of fishes may have to be
altered as a result of new scientific discoveries. In areas where the fauna is well known, the nomenclature is quite stable, but in areas still
poorly known these changes are more frequent. The following list also includes changes of the names of 45 species and the deletion of
11. This number of changes and additions outlines that much more work is needed before we reach a reasonable knowledge of western
Indonesian freshwater fishes. The additions and corrections are as known to us by the 31 May 1996. The total recorded freshwater fish
fauna in the area now is 1032. Only geographic distribution or range extensions within the area of the book are mentionned.

Cetakan pertama buku Ikan-ikan Air Tawar di Indonesia Bagian Barat dan Sulawesi mencakup 964 jenis ikan yang dike-
tahui terdapat di kawasan ini sampai tanggal 31 Desember 1991. Sejak itu penelitian lanjutan yang dilakukan oleh para
penulis dan peneliti lainnya menemukan 79 jenis baru. Karena tidak memungkinkan untuk memasukkan jenis-jenis baru ini
dalam cetakan ulang ini, untuk membantu pembaca yang berminat di bawah ini kami cantumkan daftar jenis yang baru
disertai dengan rujukan yang relevan.
Seperti diuraikan dalam bagian Pendahuluan (h. xxi-xxiii), sistematika ikan merupakan bidang ilmu yang dinamis se-
hingga nama ilmiah ikan harus diperbarui sesuai dengan penemuan-penemuan baru. Di tempat-tempat yang ikannya
dikenal baik, tata nama ikan tidak banyak berubah agak, tetapi di tempat-tempat yang fauna ikannya tidak terlalu dikenal,
perubahan nama ini lebih sering terjadi. Daftar berikut ini juga mencakup perubahan nama untuk 45 jenis dan sebelas
nama jenis telah dihilangkan. Perubahan jumlah jenis dan adanya jenis-jenis tambahan ini menekankan perlunya pe-
nelitian lebih lanjut sebelum kita dapat cukup mengenal ikan-ikan air tawar di Indonesia Barat. Tambahan dan perubahan
ini kami lakukan sesuai dengan informasi yang kami miliki sampai tanggal 31 Mei 1996. Jenis ikan air tawar yang saat ini
diketahui di kawasan ini berjumlah 1032. Informasi tambahan mengenai distribusi ikan atau kisaran penyebarannya
dibatasi untuk daerah-daerah di dalam kawasan yang dicakup dalam buku ini.
