56 ANNALS OF TEE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM. 
At the present time the body of the fish is dull yellow without 
any markings whatever ; there is a narrow smoky brown bar, 
broadest mesially between the postero-superior angles of the eye, 
and a much interrupted curved lighter band from the side of the 
snout to the base of the preopercular spine. The dorsal spot and 
the caudal are still present but much faded, and the lower pectoral 
ray and outer two thirds of the ventrals are smoky brown. 
Described from the type specimen in the Queensland Museum, 
104 millim. long ; Reg. No. I. 11/27. 
TRIGLIDiE. 
Finding it necessary to establish a new genus for the reception 
of those species of trigloid fishes hitherto associated with Lepidoirigla, 
but differing therefrom in the presence of a spinigerous lateral 
line, I propose to separate these by the name Paratrigla, taking 
Kichardson's Trigla pleuracanthica as the type. The key to the 
Queensland Triglidce will therefore be as follows : — 
a 1 . No palatine teeth ; a series of spinigerous shields along the base of the 
dorsal fin. 
ft 1 . Scales rather large, in about 50 to 65 transverse series. 
c 1 . Lateral line unarmed 1. Lepidotrigla. 
c 2 . Lateral line spinigerous 2. Paratrigla. 
& 2 . Scales small, in more than 100 transverse series ; 
lateral line unarmed 3. Chelidonichthys.
