A new goatfish, Upeneus heemstra sp. nov. (Mullidae), from the Western Indian Ocean and SE India is described from initial DNA barcoding and quantitative morphological screening, followed by a taxonomic analysis featuring the comparison of 56 meristic, morphometric and colour characters compiled from 340 specimens of 10 phenotypically similar species. An updated identification key for the tragula species group is provided and remarks on size-related and population differences are made.
