Genus CRATEROCEPHALUS McCulloch, 1912. CRATEROCEPHALUS ANTICANUS, sp. nov. New name for Craterocephalus edelensis Whitley (Proc. Linn. Soc. N. S. Wales lxviii, 1943, p. 135, description only not synonymy or figure), not Atherinichthys edelensis Castelnau, 1873, which is as now restricted a freshwater species from the Swan River system. A Western Australian marine atherine from the North-west Cape to Abrolhos area in which the vent is situated almost as far forward as the bases of the ventral fins. A useful diagnostic feature is a dark streak along each side of chin. The premaxillary processes are slender and longer than pupil; there are large scales below pectoral base, 3h scales from there to chest; the body-cavity ends bluntly just in front of anal origin, not entering first haemal arch; none of haemal spines or hypophyses broadened. Holotype (Austr. Mus. regd. No. ) from Shark's Bay and a number of paratypes in the Australian and West Australian Museums. Nearest C. capreoli Rendahl but with vent farther forward and slightly different proportions. anticanus, from Latin anticus, forward, and anus, Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Royal Zoological Society of New
