Systematic revision of the flatfish genus Peltorhamphus Günther, 1862 (Teleostei: Pleuronectiformes: Rhombosoleidae), including description of a new species from Southeastern New Zealand, with biological and ecological summaries for the species Author Munroe, Thomas A. text Zootaxa 2021 2021-01-12 4905 1 1 104 journal article 8840 10.11646/zootaxa.4905.1.1 616f791f-ae6b-4335-9d5c-1f094a4dfd3f 1175-5326 4433831 4DE5E9D9-BA56-4831-9F41-DFEB2824564A

TABLE 7. Summary of meristic information reported for specimens purportedly of Peltorhamphus novaezealandiae Günther, 1862. Counts reported by Günther (1862) are not those of the Lectotype, and may be those for a specimen of P. latus James, 1972 (see text for more detail). Counts from Norman (1934) include those for specimens of both P. novaezeelandiae and P. latus. NA = not available.
