- Description: Deep-sea anglerfishes (Lophiiformes, Ceratioidei) of the familes Caulophrynidae, Melanocetidae, Himantolophidae, Diceratiidae, Oneirodidae, Thaumatichthyidae, Centrophrynidae, Ceratiidae, Gigantactinidae and Linophrynidae from southern Africa are reviewed since the publication of the book Smiths’ Sea Fishes (1986, 1991). Twenty-three new records of ceratioid anglerfishes are reported for the region, bringing the total to 32. No new taxa are described. The faunal area for southern African deep-sea fishes is expanded from that of Smiths’ Sea Fishes in order to include several literature records and recognize the broad distributions of these fishes through the deep-pelagic Atlantic/Indo-Pacific transit zone. Keys to all families, genera and species, as well as descriptions of all southern African specimens, are provided. The bulk of this material was collected during research cruises of South Africa’s RS AFRICANA and MEIRING NAUDE. , Rhodes University Libraries (Digitisation)

- Description: A new stem-group chondrichthyan fish, PlesioselacJllIs macracanthlls gen. et sp. nov., is described from the Late Devonian Witpoort Formation, representing an estuarine lagoon site, near Grahamstown, South Africa. Based on a single, fairly complete specimen, it is distinctive in its a single dorsal fin braced by a large, stout spine with numerous ribs and posterior denticles, apparently no second dorsal or anal fin, an amphistylic jaw suspension, and a distinctive triangular palatoquadrate. It is suggested that the species may represent a high-latitude, Late Devonian relict taxon.

Smith Institute of Ichthyology; No. 60 , A new teleost fish, Stompooria rogersmithi, is described from deposits of a Late Cretaceous crater lake in the Karoo, South Africa. The fossils represent the earliest known species of the recently redefined family Galaxiidae. Distinguishing features include the apposition of the dorsal and anal fins, 41- 42 vertebrae, all neural arches anterior to the dorsal fin origin fused to the centra, presence of epineurals, the opercle reduced above the level of the hyomandibular articulation, the posttemporal and supracleithrum without a connection to the seismosensory head canals, 18 principal caudal fin rays, two epurals, five hypurals, no dorsal outgrowth on the uroneural, the neural spines of the second and third preural centra similar in size, and absence of a stegural, a third uroneural, a mesocoracoid, a supramaxilla, and teeth on the maxilla and palatine bones.

- Description: New placoderm fishes are described from a black shale lens in the Famennian Witpoort Formation, near Grahamstown, South Africa. Arthrodires include a new species of Groenlandaspis, G. riniensis sp. nov., a new genus of groenlandaspidid, Africanaspis doryssa gen. et sp. nov., and a new species of the antiarch Bothriolepis, B. africana sp. nov. This is the first record of the ubiquitous genera Bothriolepis and Groenlandaspis from the African continent. The South African placoderm fauna has demonstrable links with the eastern Gondwana faunas in the close affinity of the Bothriolepis africana with B. barred of Antarctica, and the high diversity of groenlandaspid species, especially the presence of a very high crested form having affinities to Tiaraspis.

The bathygadid and macrourid fauna is increased to 46 species in 20 genera with the addition of the following new species and new records for southern Africa: Bathygadus cottoides, Caelorinchus kaiyomaru, Caelorinchus karrerrae, Caelorinchus simorhynchus sp.n, (misidentified in southern Africa as Caelorinchus fasciatus), Caelorinchus trunovi sp.n, (misidentified in southern Africa as Caelorinchus flabellispinis), Cetonurus globiceps, Co- ryphaenoides carapinus, Coryphaenoides grahami, Coryphaenoides mcmillani, Haplomacrurus nudirostris, Hymenocephalus heterolepis (uncertain identification), Malacocephalus occidentalis, Nezumia spinosa, Nezumia umbracincta sp.n., Odon- tomacrurus murrayi, Sphagemacrurus richardi, Ventrifossa mystax sp.n, (previously identified as V. sp. aff. divergens), and an indeterminate species of Ventrifossa. Name changes include: formerly Nezumia hebetata in southern Africa changed to Kumba sp.; formerly Nezumia bubonis and N. leonis now included in Kuronezumia; formerly Ventrifossa ori now Lucigadus ori; Paracetonurus sp. now Pseudonezumia sp. The species of Macrourus from southern Africa is identified as M. carinatus (Gunther, 1878). Range extensions of previously known grenadiers include Caelorinchus acanthiger far into the western Indian Ocean and Australia, C. denticulatus to Kenya, Nezumia milleri to southern Namibia, N. propinqua to Natal, Trachonurus villosus to off False Bay, western Cape Province, Ventrifossa mystax, sp. n. to the Cape west coast and V. nasuta to off Port Elizabeth. , Rhodes University Libraries (Digitisation)

Systematics and Osteology of the Zoarcidae (Teleostei: Perciformes)

- Description: The eelpouts, Zoarcidae, are a group of perciform fishes, most species of which inhabit continental shelves and slopes of boreal seas. There are about 220 valid species of eelpouts; most are rare, deep-sea forms and the systematics and biology of the group has been neglected by most workers. This work is a contribution to the improvement of that state. The anatomy of the Zoarcidae was studied in an attempt to reconstruct phylogeny and establish generic limits. From an analysis of a matrix of 76 characters, the 45 genera recognised here form 4 subfamilies. The Lycozoarcinae contains only the primitive Lycozoarces hubbsi. The others, Zoarcinae, Gymnelinae, and Lycodinae, for the most part, include genera recognised in previous classifications (Gill, 1862, 1864; Andriashev, 1939). The more primitive zoarcids are characterised by having 4-6 suborbital bones arranged in a circular pattern close to the orbit, and “complete” cephalic lateralis pore patterns, except some of the few deep-sea forms. The more derived zoarcids are characterized by having 6-11 suborbital bones arranged in an angled, or “L”-shaped" pattern away from the orbit (except a few which have lost some bones) and the loss of the interorbital pores (except for some reversals in Lycenchelys and Lycodapus). Zoarcids are considered to have originated in the North Pacific Ocean, perhaps as early as the Eocene, when a pre-percoid radiation occurred. The suborder Zoarcoidei (today some 8-9 families) spread across the Pacific rim. Among Zoarcidae, a pre-Miocene radiation took place along the western coasts of the Americas, with areas of endemism forming in the Magellan Province of South America and Antarctica. Subsequent spreading back into northern waters occurred in Melanostigma and Pachycara. , Rhodes University Libraries (Digitisation)

- Description: Online version of original print edition of the Special Publication of the J.L.B. Smith Institute of Ichthyology; No. 50 , The eelpout fauna of the southwestern Pacific presently includes 6 species, one of which, Pachycara garricki, is described as new. Full species accounts and illustrations are also provided for Melanostigma inexpectatum, Ophthalmolycus campbellensis, and Lycenchelys maoriorum, known previously only from the meager type series. Two species, Melanostigma gelatinosum, and M. vitiazi were redescribed in the first part of this series, but expanded diagnoses are provided here. Lycenchelys maoriomm and O. campbellensis are expected to be endemic to the New Zealand Plateau and perhaps Lord Howe Rise.
