- Description: Online version of original print edition of the Special Publication of the J.L.B. Smith Institute of Ichthyology; No. 48 , Two new amphiliid catfish species from west Africa are described. A new Paramphilius from the Little Scarcies River basin in Guinea, is the third species of the genus from that area. It has a relatively deeper body and longer fins than other upper Guinean Paramphilius species. The new species of Doumea from the Cross River in Nigeria and Cameroons is characterised by a long predorsal length and a relatively short stout caudal peduncle.

- Description: Online version of original print edition of the Special Publication of the J.L.B. Smith Institute of Ichthyology; No. 47 , Rabaulichthys stigmaticus is described as a new species of serranid fish of the subfamily Anthiinae from four male specimens collected in 35 m on a rubble bottom off Ari Aroll in the Republic of Maldives, it is distinct from the only other known species of the genus, R. altipinnis Allen from New Britain, in having a longer snout (6.7-7.1%SL, versus 5.5-6.4%SL), a higher dorsal fin in the adult male (30-39% SL), a large quadrangular dark spot on the side of the body above the anal fin, and an elongate black blotch in the soft portion of the dorsal fin. Specimens of a possible third species taken in a dredge at Condor Reef, Caroline Islands are discussed.
