Data for morphometric analysis and DNA barcode sequence for the new fish species Polymixia hollisterae

Two datasets are provided to support the journal article
(https://doi.org/10.1643/i2020112) by T. C. Grande and M. V. H.
Wilson naming the new Bermuda fish species Polymixia hollisterae. The
first dataset is for 2-D multivariate
morphometric comparisons of selected specimens and species of the
fish genus Polymixia. The file is in TPS format, as a
plain text file, for use in the application MorphoJ. The
data are for 27 specimens with pixel coordinates for 34 landmarks
digitized in ImageJ and used to generate Fig. 13 in the
referenced publication. The second dataset, published here
courtesy of Dr. R. Eytan, is a mitochondrial DNA barcode sequence
in fasta format for the second paratype specimen, a
small juvenile of the new species. The specimen is only the third
one known of the new species and the only one not from Bermuda. It was
collected in the north-central Gulf of Mexico and is now
deposited in the Harvard University MCZ fish collection as catalog number
MCZ 174218. The fasta file can be used as input to the barcode
identification function at boldsystems.org, although its original
identification in BOLD was incorrect.
