Description: Online version of original print edition of the Special Publication of the J.L.B. Smith Institute of Ichthyology; No. 36 , Fusigobius duospilusis described as a new species from several localities in the tropical Pacific and Indian oceans. This species differs from other species of Fusigobius in pectoral ray and gill-raker counts, coloration, reduced pelvic frenum, branching of the pelvic rays, presence of two large black spots on the first dorsal fin and shape of the first dorsal fin. The species is free living on sand. Males average a larger size than females. Sex ratios are uneven, with about twice as many females as males. Fusigobius longispinus Goren is recorded from several localities in the western Indian Ocean, where populations differ morphologically from Red Sea populations. Fusiogobius neophytus africanusls regarded as a synonym of F. neophytus.

Description: Online version of original print edition of the Special Publication of the J.L.B. Smith Institute of Ichthyology; No. 24 , Electrofishing surveys throughout Malawi have increased the number of mormyrid species known to occur in the country, expanded known ranges of the species and cast doubts on some earlier records. The distribution of each of the eight recorded species is given, and a key is provided for the identification of the species. The available evidence suggests that Gnathonemus nyasensis Worthington, 1933 is a junior synonym of Marcusenius livingstonii (Boulenger, 1898) a species described from the Ruvuma River of Tanzania. Geological evidence supports fish distribution evidence that indicates links between Lake Malawi and East Coast Rivers. Some affinities are also noted between Lake Malawi and Upper Zambezi/Zaire faunas.
