NOTES AND ILLUSTRATIONS OF QUEENSLAND FISHES.— McCULLOCE. 51 
Described and figured from a specimen, 62 mm. long, in the collection of 
the Australian Museum. It was received in exchange from the Queensland 
jMuseum as a co-type of Onar nehulosumf de Vis, and I have no doubt that it is 
one of the original specimens. But it proves the description of the species to be 
very inaccurate, the dorsal formula being iii/27 instead of ii/17, while the height 
is 3.8 instead of IJ in the total length. Four other specimens, 45-78 mm. long, 
are in the old collection of the Australian Museum, one of which is from Duke 
of York Island, and the others are without data. The larger ones differ from 
the co-type in having some of the ventral rays filamentous and reaching the 
origin of the anal. The number of enlarged canines in the anterior part of each 
jaw' varies from one to three pairs. D. iii/25-27 ; A. iii/14-15. 
Loc, — Murray Island, Torres Strait. Duke of York Island, New Britain. 
Family PLESIOPID^E. 
Genus BELONEPTEBYGION, gen. nov. 
Body moderately elongate, eomi)ressed, covered with large ctenoid scales. 
Three lateral lines, the first near the back, the second along the middle of the 
side, and the third above the base of the anal fin. Dorsal about xviii/6, anal 
.about x/5; ventral i/2. Head naked, with rows of muciferous canals and pores 
surrounding the eye, and extending along the margin of the preorbital and 
preoperculum; others cross the nape, and there are some pores on the under 
surface of the mandible. Bands of minute teeth on the jaws, and two groups on 
the vomer ; palatines and tongue toothless. 
Type. — Acanthoclinns fasciolatuSj Ogilby. 
This genus is very similar to Acanthoclinns ^ Jenyns,’- but differs in 
having no palatine teeth, and the scales are large and ctenoid instead of minute 
and cycloid. It is apparently also related to Acanihoplesiops,^ but that genus 
has only one lateral line.

Having compared specimens of this species with a New Zealand example 
of Acanihoclinns Utorcus, Jenyns, I find generic differences between them as 
noted above. There is a remarkable resemblance in the colour-marking of the 
two, though the body-colour of B. fasciolatnm varies from light brown with dark 
cross-bars to deep black.
