Abstract
Two new species of Neophrynichthys are described, N. angustus from New Zealand and N. magnicirrus from Macquarie Island. Both have a narrow and rigid interorbital with strongly sculptured roofing bones. N. angustus has dark brown spots on a light background and is larger, occurs at greater depths, and is wider ranging than its New Zealand compatriot N. latus (Hutton, 1875). N. magnicirrus has a large cirri-ornamented posterior nostril tube and long frilled rostral cirri. Data from additional material of the Australian N. marcidus McCulloch, 1926, are presented. A key is given to the five recognized species, a review of the genus is presented, and the systematic relationships of Neophrynichthys are discussed.
