DESCRIPTIONS OF NEW OR INSUFFICIENTLY 
DESCRIBED FISHES FROM 
QUEENSLAND WATERS. 
By J. DOUGLAS OGILBY. 
The following paper contains accurate descriptions of twelve 
species of fishes from the coast of Queensland, seven of which are 
considered new to science, while the remainder are redescriptions of 
species, which, like Dules humilis De Yis and Serranus estuarius 
iVLacleay, are not described with such detail as to be recognizable 
without the types. 
The species described as new are — 
1. Carcharias arenarius ; fam. CarcTiariidw ; Moreton Bay, 
southward to Tasmania ; 
2. Carcharhinus steyensi; fam. Galeidce; Bustard Bay and 
Nor- West Islet ; 
3. Myliobatis iiamlyni ; fam. Dasybatidw ; Moreton Bay; 
4. Amia berths ; fam. Cheilodipteridce ; Dunk Island ; 
5. Amia nigripes; fam. ead. ; Moreton Bay; 
6. Ch^rodon weberi ; fam. Labridw, Aru Islands ; and 
7. Callionymus macdonaldi ; fam. Callionymidce ; Moreton Bay. 
While the redescribed species are : — 
1. Amphisile cristata De Yis; fam. Centriscidce; coast of 
Southern Queensland ; 
2 Polynemtjs specularts De Vis ; fam. Polynemidcd ; Rivers of 
Southern Queensland ; 
3. Dfles humilis De Vis ; fam. Centrarchidce ; Queensland; 
4. Apistus CALOUNDRADe Yis ; fam. Scorpcenidce. • Caloundra; and 
5. Serranus estuarius Macleay ; fam. Serranidce ; Mary Biver. 
For one of these, A. caloundra, I find it necessary to form a new genus, 
Apistops, on account of the short pectoral fin and other characters, while it is 
necessary to found another new genus, Paratrigla, to accommodate those forms 
which, in addition to the large scales of Lepidotrigla, have a spinigerous lateral line 
such as Trigla pleuracanthica Richardson, etc.
