Scales: all 100 |.t. belonged to this genus, and consequently there is no justification for placing Brady's (1880) material in Ekpontocypris as she suggested. The only hesitation that I have in suggesting that my material is conspecific with Propontocypris (P.) subrenifonnis is the slightly more elongate shape of the adults from southern Africa (length : height ratio >2,0) compared to the lectotype (1,96). Distribution Propontocypris cf. P. (P.) subreniformis (Brady) occurs at several sites around the Cape Peninsula (including False Bay), and at a small number of sites along the west-coast shelf, as far north as 19,7°S (Fig. 11). Keeler (1981) recorded the species from the eastern Agulhas Bank. Modem specimens were recovered from all areas except the northernmost site on the Walvis Ridge abutment shelf (TBD 3940), and have UDL and LDL of 18 m to 120 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 South African Museum.
