Family PLATACIDiE. 
Genus ZABIDIUS nov. 
Orthotype, Platax novemaculeatus McCulloch. 38 
This new genus is easily distinguished from Platax Cuvier 39 by its nine 
dorsal spines. No notch between the spinous and soft dorsal fins. Soft dorsal 
and anal fins with rounded margins, not produced into falciform lobes. 
Barnard 40 considered Platax novemaculeatus McCulloch as possibly 
belonging to the genus Chcetodipterus Laeepede, 41 but that genus has five dorsal 
spines, falciform fins, and a notch between the two dorsals. An attempt has 
been made by Fowler & Bean 42 to unite McCulloch’s species with Platax 
pinnatus (Linne) which has been called P. teira (Forskaal) by Australian authors, 
but I have examined Australian specimens identified as both species and regard 
Zabidius novemaculeatus (McCulloch) as quite distinct.
