Other indetenninate osteolepid, eusthenopterid and rhizodontid remains, and a single indetenninate porolepifonn scale, are described from the same fonnation. Koharalepis jarviki n.gen., n.sp. is a large cosmine-covered osteolepifonn with a broad flat head, two pairs of dennosphenotics, large extratemporals, a large postorbital in the cheek which does not reach the orbit, an elongate jugal, lachrymal separating the maxilla from the premaxilla at the jaw margin, and large anteriorly pointed median and triangular lateral extrascapulars. It is placed with Canowindra Thomson and Beelarongia Long in the new family Canowindridae. Platyethmoidia antarctica n.gen., n.sp. is a poorly known form with a very broad, flat fronto-ethmoidal shield with dorsomesially oriented slit-like nares, and a lower jaw with a deep articular region. It may be closely related to Gyroptychius? australis Young & Gorter. Mahalalepis resima n.gen., n.sp. is interpreted on the morphology of the frontoethmoidal shield as an early megalichthyid, and a new definition of this family is presented. Vorobjevaia dolonodon n.gen., n.sp. is a poorly known osteolepid with a distinctive jaw morphology. The rhizodontifonn Notorhizodon mackelveyi n.gen., n.sp. was the largest fish in the Aztec fauna, attaining a length of over 3 m. It is characterised by elongate frontals and small dennosphenotics in the skull, Rhizodus-type tusks, and strong tooth flanges on the coronoid and dennopalatine series bones in the jaws. The braincase in a rhizodontifonn is described for the first time, and in general morphology closely resembles that of Osteolepifonnes. Notorhizodon resembles Screbinodus Andrews in dennal ornament and Barameda Long in skull pattern. All previously described crossopterygian material from the Aztec Siltstone is revised, and Gyroptychius antarctic us (Smith Woodward) is regarded as a nomen nudum.

The following results were obtained: (1) The Oxudercinae can be defined on the basis of derived states of certain neurocranial bones and muscles, eye position, nasal flap morphology, the palatine-ectopterygoid arrangement, reduction in size of the premaxillae ascending processes, and in having a single anal fin pterygiophore anterior to the first hemal spine.

These assemblages are recognised at the generic level and one new genus (Zappa) is described; a key to the genera is provided. Thirty four species are recognised of which one (Boleophthalmus birdsongi) is described for the first time. Each species is described in detail and a key is provided for each genus. (3) Two monophyletic assemblages (one comprising three genera, the other seven) are recognised at the tribal level. Defining characters for each tribe are provided and illustrated. (4) Biogeographic analysis indicated that nine of the ten genera are distributed in an area bounded by the Arabian Gulf to the west, southern Japan to the north, northern Australia to the south, and Papua New Guinea to the east. The remaining genus, Periophthalmus, overlaps and exceeds the above limits, ranging from west Africa eastward to Samoa.
