  • 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.

  • IN AUSTRALIA GJ Leach
    J. Adelaide Bot. Gard. 11(2): 75-100 (1989) TAXONOMIC REVISION OF BERGIA (ELATINACEAE) IN AUSTRALIA G. J. Leach Northern Territory Herbarium, Conservation Commission of the Northern Territory, P.O. Box 496, Palmerston, Northern Territory 0831 Abstract A taxonomic revision of Bergia in Australia is presented. The following ten species are recognised: B. pedicellaris, B. henshallii, B. perennis, B. barklyana, B. auriculata, B. ammannioides, B. trimera, B. occultipetala, B. diacheiron and B. pusilla. B. barklyana, B. auriculata, B. henshalld, B. occultipetala and B. diacheiron are de,scribed as new. B. perennis comprises three subspecies. The existing infrageneric classification is considered inadequate and four informal groups based on Australian taxa are suggested. B. ammannioides and B. trimera have an extra-Australian distribution; all other taxa are endemic. A key to the species and distribution maps are provided. Introduction The Elatinaceae are a small family of aquatic or wetland plants with an almost global distribution but absent from colder regions. Recent workers e.g. Cronquist (1981) have concurred with placement of the Elatinaceae in the Theales and that its closest affinity is to the Clusiaceae. Tucker (1986) provides a recent summary and detailed references to the family. Bergia is one of two genera recognised in the Elatinaceae, the other being Elatine. Both genera are recorded for Australia, Bergia now with 12 taxa recognised, and Elatine generally accepted as represented by a single species. The genus Bergia was described by Linnaeus in 1771 and commemorates Petrus Jonas Bergius (1766-1790), a Swedish pupil of Linnaeus and later professor of natural history and pharmacy at the Collegium Medicum in Stockholm.
