Abstract

Three species are added to the Tasmanian list:
Ichthyocampus cristatus McCulloch & Waite, 1918
(Syngnathidae), Scorpis lineolatus Kner, 1865
(Scorpidae), Pseudolabrus parilis (Richardson),
1850 (Labridae): some general observations are
made on these species. Coelorhynchus mortoni
Ogilby. 1897 (Macruridae), relegated in the CheckList
to the synonymy of C. australis (Richardson),
1849. is reinstated as a valid species, and a redescription
and figure based on material from the
West Coast, are supplied. Other species discussed
are Raja whitleyi Iredale, 1938 (Rajidae) [metrical
data on 17 examples], Vincentia lemprieri (Johnston).
1883 (Apogonidae) [new material], Neoplatycephalus
speculator (Klunzinger), 1872
(Platycephalidae) [confirmation of Tasmanian
status], Platycephalus bassensis bassensis Cuvier,
1829 (Platycephalidae) [variation in fin counts].
Tasmanian representatives of the families Scorpidae,
Platycephalidae, and Australia and New
Zealand species of the genus Coelorhynchus
Giorna, 1809 are keyed.
