Family SYNGNATHIDAE. 
OXLEYANA, gen. nov. 
Orthotype, Syngnathus parviceps, Ramsay and Ogilby. 
Differs from true Syngnathus notably in having the snout shorter than post- 
orbital portion of head, instead of much longer than it. 
The type-species seems restricted to South Queensland and northern New 
South Wales, and is thus representative of the Oxleyan faunal Sub-area recently 
distinguished by Iredale (Austr. Zool. viii, 1937, p. 287 and map). 
OXLEYANA PARVICEPS (Ramsay and Ogilby). 
(Plate XI, fig. 2 and 3). 
Syngnathus parviceps Ramsay and Ogilby, Proc. Linn. Soc. X. S. Wales (2), i, 2, Aug. 23, 
1886, p. 475. Clarence River, X. S. Wales. 
Mr. Melbourne Ward secured a specimen of this pipefish at Southport in 
October, 1936, 
New record for Queensland. 
The Australian Museum has several specimens, including the type (No. I. 191), 
from the Clarence River, N. S. Wales, which is illustrated here.
