Kuiterichthys pietschi

Kuiterichthys pietschi[1] is a species of fish in the family Antennariidae. It was described in 2013 by Rachel J. Arnold from 20 specimens collected at depths of 60 to 89 m (197 to 292 ft) off New South Wales, Australia. It differs from its congener K. furcipilis in number of fin rays, number of vertebrae, and escal morphology.[2] FishBase does not recognize this species, nor does it list it as a synonym of any others.
