- Description: The zeid fishes of South Africa are revised; five species in four genera are described and illustrated. Paracyttopsis scutatus Gilchrist & von Bonde and Zen itea (Jordan & Fowler) are shown to be junior synonyms of Cyttopsis roseus (Lowe). Zeus japonicus Valenciennes and Zeus australis Richardson are considered synonyms of Zeus faber Linnaeus; there seems to be no basis for recognition of subspecies in this wide-ranging species. Zenopsis ocellatus (Storer) is placed in the synonymy of Zenopsis conchifer (Lowe). A key to the families of zeiform fishes is presented, and diagnosis for those families represented in South African waters are given. Keys to the South African species of Grammicolepididae, Oreosomatidae, and Zeidae are also included. The distributions of zeid fishes are discussed. , Rhodes University Libraries (Digitisation)

- Description: Online version of original print edition of the Special Publication of the J.L.B. Smith Institute of Ichthyology; No. 18 , Pavoclinus myae n.sp. is described from seven specimens collected off the eastern Cape Province, South Africa. The combination of a separate and high anterior section of the dorsal fin, a narrow caudal peduncle, vomerine teeth and fin counts separates P. myae from the eight other members of the genus. The validity of Pavoclinus graminis and P. laurentii was examined and confirmed. New distinguishing features were found, as characters previously used to differentiate these two species were unreliable.
