- Grenadier fishes of the families Bathygadidae and Macrouridae from southern Africa are reviewed since publication of the book Smiths’ Sea Fishes (1986). The bathygadid and macrourid fauna is increased to 46 species in 20 genera with the addition of the following new species and new records for southern Africa: Bathygadus cottoides, Caelorinchus kaiyomaru, Caelorinchus karrerrae, Caelorinchus simorhynchus sp.n, (misidentified in southern Africa as Caelorinchus fasciatus), Caelorinchus trunovi sp.n, (misidentified in southern Africa as Caelorinchus flabellispinis), Cetonurus globiceps, Co- ryphaenoides carapinus, Coryphaenoides grahami, Coryphaenoides mcmillani, Haplomacrurus nudirostris, Hymenocephalus heterolepis (uncertain identification), Malacocephalus occidentalis, Nezumia spinosa, Nezumia umbracincta sp.n., Odon- tomacrurus murrayi, Sphagemacrurus richardi, Ventrifossa mystax sp.n, (previously identified as V. sp. aff. divergens), and an indeterminate species of Ventrifossa. Name changes include: formerly Nezumia hebetata in southern Africa changed to Kumba sp.; formerly Nezumia bubonis and N. leonis now included in Kuronezumia; formerly Ventrifossa ori now Lucigadus ori; Paracetonurus sp. now Pseudonezumia sp. The species of Macrourus from southern Africa is identified as M. carinatus (Gunther, 1878). Range extensions of previously known grenadiers include Caelorinchus acanthiger far into the western Indian Ocean and Australia, C. denticulatus to Kenya, Nezumia milleri to southern Namibia, N. propinqua to Natal, Trachonurus villosus to off False Bay, western Cape Province, Ventrifossa mystax, sp. n. to the Cape west coast and V. nasuta to off Port Elizabeth.
