  • A New Freshwater Catfish (Pisces: Ariidae) from Northern Australia
    Rec. West. Aust. Mus. 1988,14(1): 73-89 A new freshwater catfish (Pisces: Ariidae) from northern Australia PatriciaJ. Kailola* and Bryan E. Pierce* Abstract A new species of fork-tailed catfish is described on the basis of 31 specimens collected in northern Australia between the Fitzroy River (Western Australia) and the Mitchell River (Queensland). Arius midgleyi sp. novo grows to at least 1.3 m TL and is distinguished from other Australo-Papuan ariids by a combination of charac­ ters including snout shape, barbel length, eye size, tooth arrangement and gill raker number and position. Comparison is made with other ariid species occurring in northern Australian rivers, including the morphologically similar A. leptaspis (Bleeker). Introduction The Timor Sea and Gulf of Carpentaria drainage systems (Lake 1971) approx­ imately represent the Leichhardtian zoogeographic region of Whitley (1947). The rainfall pattern in this region is dominated by the wet monsoon (occurring within the period November to April). Most rivers here traverse a flat coastal plain about 15 km wide before reaching the sea (Lake 1971). These rivers commonly possess wide flood plains and low gradients, often contracting to a chain of waterholes during the dry season; some (Gregory River; Fitzroy to Daly Rivers) have reaches of rapids or very deep gorges. The average annual discharge from this region is 69000 billion litres (Lake 1971), most of it occurring during the wet season. Five of Australia's 18 species of fork-tailed catfishes (Ariidae) are common in this northern region, yet were overlooked by Whitley (1947) and Iredale and Whitley (1938). The members of this family, which is distributed circumglobally in the tropics and subtropics, may inhabit the sea, rivers within tidal influence, or fresh waters.

  • A NEW SPECIES of SOLENOCERA (CRUSTACEA: DECAPODA: SOLENOCERIDAE) from NORTHERN AUSTRALIA Isabel Perez Farfante and D
    28 August 1980 PROC. BIOL. SOC. WASH. 93(2), 1980, pp. 421-434 A NEW SPECIES OF SOLENOCERA (CRUSTACEA: DECAPODA: SOLENOCERIDAE) FROM NORTHERN AUSTRALIA Isabel Perez Farfante and D. L. Grey Abstract.—Solenocera australiana, new species, a close ally of S. halli and S. melantho, is described from material collected in shallow water, 15 to 24 m, off the Northern Territory, Australia. This species is characterized by the antennular flagella which gradually narrow distally toward the 2 or 3 distalmost articles; the roughly lanceolate distal part of the dorsolateral lobules of the petasma which are supported by submesial ribs; and the presence of two pairs of thelycal protuberances on the anterior part of ster- nite XIV, the mesial one usually considerably larger than the lateral, as well as by the straight anterior border of the thoracic ridge. In July 1972, during routine fishery monitoring by the staff of the Fisheries Division, Department of Primary Production, Darwin, a collection of shrimps of the genus Solenocera was taken from commercial grounds north of Groote Eylandt in the western Gulf of Carpentaria. Since that time ad- ditional specimens have been obtained during the course of sampling of penaeid shrimps by fishery research vessels in waters adjacent to the North- ern Territory, mostly in Van Diemen Gulf, but also in other localities off this province by commercial trawlers. Van Diemen Gulf has not attracted significant commercial fishing for pe- naeid shrimps—the only members of the superfamily Penaeoidea that at present are economically important in northern Australia—and to make a preliminary evaluation of its potential as a fishery, a series of brief surveys were made between May 1977 and February 1978.
