Abstract: A new moray Enchelycore propinqua sp. nov., is described from a single specimen collected from Visakhapatnam fishing harbour, Andhra Pradesh, India. The species has a reddish brown body mottled with irregular creamy white spots; dorsal-fin origin considerably behind gill opening, but well ahead of level of anus; sharply pointed recurved teeth; biserial intermaxillary and maxillary teeth, those of inner row larger and more widely spaced than outer row. It differs from congeners by higher predorsal vertebrae and lower total vertebral count (MVF 20-51-120). The colouration is distinctly different from other species of the genus.

Abstract: Enchelycore nycturanus, a new species of moray eel, is described from the east coast of South Africa. It has slightly arched jaws that leave some teeth exposed when the mouth is closed. It has triserial maxillary teeth, biserial mandibular teeth, and its intermaxillary teeth are in five rows. Along with the dentition, its vertebral count (147-148) and its color pattern of white spots on a dark background distinguish it from all other morays.
