Parahynnodiis robustus Barnard, 1927: 525, plate XXII, fig. 4 (original description; off Cape Point, 460 fms.; holotype in poor condition, not examined, SAM 13080). Hymwdus robustus Smith, 1949b: 210, fig. 495. Diagnosis. E. robustus sti-ongly resem- bles E. pectinifer, E. trewavasae, and E. lenimen. It may be distinguished from the former two species by the absence of hngual teeth. In addition, mihke E. pec- tinifer, it has awl-Hke gill rakers. E. ro- hu^us differs from E. lenimen by having a narrow interorbital region ( SL), short DJ ( SL) and short All ( SL). E. robustus may be distinguished from E. crassicaudus by the former's short head ( SL) and shallow body ( SL). It differs from remaining congeners by bearing a pungent, bony opercular spine, vertebral count of 11 + 14, and nine rays in the second dorsal fin. Description. Meristic values presented in Table 21; regression data for morpho- metric traits presented in Table 22. Body elongate, moderately compressed; anterodorsal profile weakly convex, rising without interruption from tip of snout to base of first dorsal fin; body depth SL; caudal peduncle moderate to long, SL. Head short, shallow, length SL, height SL; snout short, pointed; angle of gape moderate to large; lower jaw protruding beyond upper jaw, bearing two nubs of variable prominence on anterior surface of mandible. Maxilla reaching ¥3-^/4 eye length; posterior margin of maxilla narrow, rounded or bearing posteriormost point near midline of bone; small, weak mustache-like process project- ing from j)osteroventral surface of maxil- lary head. Eye round to oval, small, HL; anterodorsal rim of orbit not reaching dorsal profile; interorbital region narrow,
