ABSTRACT , . A new species of the family Triglidae, Lepidorrigla russelli sp. nov. , from the waters off the Northem Territory and Queensland (Au'stralia) ii presented. The new laxon is compared with its similar relatives in !he genus LepidotTigla Günther, 1860: L. faurei Gilchrist and Thompson, 1914, and L. cadmani Regan, 1915. Brief comments on the genus Lepidorrigla are included.
