Extract

Lecithaster musteli sp.nov. from the five-bearded rockling, Onos mustelus (L.), at Mumbles Head, Swansea, is described and compared with other species of the genus.

The genus Lecithaster Lühe, 1901 is reviewed. An emended definition of the genus is given with keys, diagnostic features, and brief notes of the nine recognized species. L. gibbosus (Rud.) Lühe, 1901 is briefly redescribed.

L. intermedius Szidat, 1954 is considered to be a synonym of L. gibbosus (Rud.) Lühe, 1901.

I am deeply indebted to Dr B. L. James for his advice and indispensable assistance throughout the work and the preparation of this paper. I am also grateful to Professor E. W. Knight-Jones for his interest and for providing the working facilities, and to Mr S. Prudhoe, British Museum (Natural History), for his advice, for allowing me to examine slides of L. gibbosus and for the use of the library.
