69. Craterocephalus fluviatilis McCulloch, 1912.-^'- 



CRATEROCEPHALUS FLUVIATILIS McCulloch, Proc. Roy. Soc. Queensl, 24, 49, pi. 1, 

 fig. 1, 1912. 

 Type-locality. — North Yanko Creek, Narrandera, N. S. Wales. 

 Range. — Murray River drainage, Australia. 



70. Craterocephalus stercus-muscarum (Giinther), 1867.'^'- 



Atheeina stercus-muscarum Giinther, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. (3), 20, 64, 1867; 

 Macleay, Proc. Linn. Soc. N. S. Wales, 6, 40, 1881 (1882) (after Gunther). 

 Type-locality. — Cape York, Australia. 



Atherinichthys maculatus Macleay, Proc. Linn. Soc. N. S. Wales, 8, 207, 1883; 

 9, 40, 1884. 



Craterocephalus maculatus McCulloch, Proc. Roy. Soc. Queensl, 24, 52, pi. 1, 

 fig. 2, 1912. 

 Type-locality. — Lillesmere Lagoon on the lower Burdekin River, Queensland. 

 Range. — Coastwise streams of Queensland, north to Cape York, Australia. 



Mr. McCulloch has sent us specimens of this species from Eidsvold, 

 Burnett River, Queensland. As in C. fluviatilis, the rami of the 

 mandibles are elevated posteriorly. 



71. Craterocephalus eyresii (Steindachner), 1883. 



Atherinichthys eyresii Steindachner, Am. Akad. Wiss. Wien, 194, 1883; Sitzb. 



Akad. Wiss. Wien, 88, 1075, 1884 {Ichth. Beit., 13, 11, 1883). 

 Craterocephalus eyresii McCulloch and Waite, Rec. S. Austral. Mus., 1, 43, 



fig. 27, 1918. 

 Type-locality. — Australia, probably in the vicinity of Lake Eyre ("wahrend der 



Lake Eyre-Expedition gesammelt"). See below. 



Atherina interioris Zietz, Proc. Roy. Soc. S. Austral., 33, 264, 1909 (nomen 



nudem). 

 Type-locality. — "Overflow of the artesian water of Coward and Strangways 



Springs, Central Australia." 

 Range. — Fresh waters of south-central Australia. 



We suggest that Strangways Springs, in southern central Australia, 

 be regarded as the definite type locality of this species. 



72. Craterocephalus honoriae (Ogilby), 1912. 



Atherina honoris Ogilby, Mem. Queensl. Mus., 1, 42, pi. 12, fig. 3, 1912. 



Type-locality. — Nerang Creek, Queensland. 

 Range. — Streams of Queensland. 



The small mouth, short and few gill-rakers, the large scales, and 

 other characters of honorle seem to place it in or at least near Cratero- 

 cephalus. The dentition is not described. According to McCulloch, 

 the rami of the mandibles are elevated posteriorly.
