A Revision of the Fishes of the Subfamily Argentininae

Abstract

A systematic revision of the Argentininae divides the subfamily into two genera, Argentina with seven species and subspecies and Glossanodon with five species. Comments are given on habits and distribution, and brief discussions of the swimbladder and the spiral valve are included. The following new taxa are presented: Prosoarchus, new subgenus; Glossanodon (Glossanodon) polli, new species; Glossanodon (Prosoarchus) pygmaeus, new species; Argentina elongata australiae, new subspecies.
