Pomadasys sp.

Figure 23i View Fig

Material 7 specimens, SMF PO 101.244 , Dar bel Hamri, Zanclean .

Discussion Tese smaller and incomplete specimens differ from the P. incisus in the more strongly bent cauda, the dorsal rim with a broad mediodorsal bulge, and the posterior rim that is broad, blunt, and extending somewhat behind the caudal tip. Figure 23i View Fig shows the largest and best preserved specimen of 7.5 mm in length, which lacks the rostrum (reconstructed about 8.2 mm in length). Tese specimens probably represent a further species of Pomadasys , although they cannot be identified to species level.
