چکیده
William John Macleay (1882) described Serranus magnificus from the holotype collected by Andrew Goldie in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea. The holotype was originally in the Macleay Museum, but was subsequently transferred to the Australian Museum (AMS) in 1907, along with around 500 additional lots of mostly Goldie New Guinea and “Chevert” expedition fishes (AMS series I.9039–I.9198, I.9200–I.9241, I.9457–I.9476, I.9620–I.9726, I.9739–I.9802 and I.13356–I.13456), and was duly registered there (registration number I.9460). The specimen was subsequently misplaced, and could not be located by J.E. Randall and P.C. Heemstra for their revision of Indo-Pacific Epinephelinae (Heemstra & Randall 1991). They were unable to associate the name with any known species, and listed the species as a nomen dubium (also indicated as such by Heemstra & Randall 1993). This is surprising as Macleay’s description mostly agrees with Epinephelus lanceolatus (Bloch 1790), with the exception of the number of anal-fin rays (III,9 versus III,8). His description is reproduced here (Macleay 1882, p. 229):

A new species, Prosorhynchus maternus sp. n., is described from the serranid fish Epinephelus malabaricus (Bloch et Schneider) in the waters off New Caledonia. It belongs to a group of Prosorhynchus species from serranids in which the uterus is restricted to the postovarian region. Its distinguishing features include the vitellarium relatively distant from the rhynchus, the cirrus-sac relativel...

A survey of the gill parasites of Epinephelus costae (Teleostei: Serranidae) was conducted between 2001 and 2005 in the Gulf of Gabès (Tunisia). Five new species of Diplectanidae (Monogenea) were collected, all belonging to Pseudorhabdosynochus Yamaguti, 1958: P. bouaini sp. n., P. dolicocolpos sp. n., P. enitsuji sp. n., P. sinediscus sp. n., and P. sosia sp. n.

Sex inversion of Epinephelus microdon, a protogynous hermaphrodite was studied using light and electron microscopic criteria. The sex changes takes place within ex-ovarian lamellae in which, in addition to spermatogonia, numerous primordial germ cells (PGCs) were detected. These undifferentiated and bipotential early germ cells are involved, as well as spermatogonia, in the building up of the t...
