description
We add the following new observations based on our examination of the Australian and Indonesian specimens: scales with peripheral cteni; vertebrae 10 + 16; supraneurals 3; predorsal formula 0 / 0 + 0 / 2 / 1 + 1; dorsal pterygiophores in interneural spaces 9 – 13 1 / 1 / 1 + 1 / 1 + 1 / 1 + 1; no trisegmental pterygiophores associated with dorsal fin; terminal dorsal pterygiophore in interneural space 17 – 18; no trisegmental pterygiophores associated with anal fin; terminal anal pterygiophore in interhaemal space 5; ribs present on vertebrae 3 through 10; epineurals present on vertebrae 1 through 12 – 13; parhypural and hypurals autogenous; well-developed hypurapophysis on parhypural; epurals 3; single uroneural (posterior uroneural absent); ventral tip of cleithrum with well-developed posteroventral process; proximal tip of first anal-fin pterygiophore near distal tips of parapophyses on vertebra 10. Morphometric data and additional meristic data are summarised in Table 29.
