Description: Cape Provincial Museum, Albany Museum, Grahamstown, Natural History. Volume 14. Part 4. 29th October 1982. Stapled wraps, p109-p137. illustrated, 184mm wide x 240mm high. New unread copy. A new species of Helcogramma, H. fuscopinna, which ranges across the Indo-West Pacific (excluding the Red Sea) from as far south as Durban to southern Japan, is described. Two new species of Enneapterygius, E. clarkae from the western Indian Ocean including the Red Sea, and E. ventermaculus from Zululand, Aden, & Pakistan, are described. The possibility that Enneapterygius may not be monophyletic is discussed. Gillias capensis is assigned to a new genus, Cremnochorites, and the species is redescribed. Reference is made to certain osteological features of the family, particularly the presence of a free pterygiophore between the second and third dorsal fins and the occurence of a septal bone in certain tripterygiid genera.
