Description: Online version of original print edition of the Special Publication of the J.L.B. Smith Institute of Ichthyology; No. 29
Description: Clinus spatulatus sp. n. is described from 50 specimens collected from an estuary in the southwestern Cape Province, South Africa. The presence of supraorbital tentacles or papillae distinguishes Clinus and Gynutoclinus from other South African genera of the subtribe Clinidi. The new species has simple supraorbital tentacles, an intermediate condition between the well-developed, at least bifid tentacles of Clinus and the simple supraorbital papillae of Gynutoclinus. For this reason Penrith's (1969) diagnosis of Clinus is modified to include the new species as well as the monospecific Gynutoclinus thereby incorporating all South African species with supraorbital papillae or tentacles.
