- Description: Online version of original print edition of the Special Publication of the J.L.B. Smith Institute of Ichthyology; No. 10 , A new genus is erected for Apogon maximus, a deep water cardinal fish occurring off the coast of southern Arabia in the Indian Ocean. Holapogon is a primitive genus near the ancestor which gave rise to all the living Apogoninae. The type-species, Apogon maximus Boulenger, 1887, is redescribed and aspects of its anatomy are investigated.

Comparative osteology of the shallow water cardinal fishes (Perciformes: Apogonidae) with reference to the systematics and evolution of the family

- Description: The osteology and swim bladders of the perciform family Apogonidae are surveyed at the generic level based on the examination of more than 150 species. Three subfamilies are recognized—Epigoninae, Apogoninae and Pseudaminae. The genera of Epigoninae are not treated. The Cheilodipterinae and the Siphaminae are not recognized as subfamilies and the Synagropi- nae are removed from the Apogonidae to the Percichthyidae. Descriptions of 19 genera and 14 subgenera are given. Forty-three genera are placed in synonymy and three new subgenera are proposed: Pristicon, Verulux and Zapogon. Keys to the three subfamilies and to the recognized genera and subgenera in the Apogoninae and Pseudaminae are presented. Discussions of the evolution of functional bony units within the Apogonidae are linked with trends seen in the beryciform-percoid transition and continuing changes exhibited by living percoids. The evolution and relationships of the living genera in the Apogoninae and Pseudaminae are treated and their zoogeography is briefly examined. , Rhodes University Libraries (Digitisation)
