The taxonomy of the fish genus Platycephalus Bloch, 1785 from Australia is revised following examination of all extant primary types of Australian species, including those previously synonymized. The following 16 Australian species, including a single new species, are recognized in this study: Platycephalus angustus Steindachner, 1866, Platycephalus aurimaculatus Knapp, 1987, Platycephalus bassensis Cuvier, 1829, Platycephalus caeruleopunctatus McCulloch, 1922, Platycephalus chauliodous Knapp…

Dactylogyrids (Platyhelminthes: Monogenoidea) Infecting the Gill Lamellae of Flatheads (Scorpaeniformes: Platycephalidae), with Proposal of Platycephalotrema n. gen. and Descriptions of New Species from Australia and Japan
TLDR
Four new species and 5 previously described species parasitizing the gills of flatheads (Scorpaeniformes: Platycephalidae) are proposed and P. thysanophrydis is redescribed based on newly collected and museum specimens.
The Taxonomic Validity and Phylogenetic Relationships of Genus Platycephalus Bloch, 1785 (Teleostei: Platycephalidae) in the Northwest Pacific Inferred from the Mitochondrial Genome
TLDR
The distribution, relationships, and evolution history of Platycephalus were discussed to provide basic information for taxonomy and phylogenetic relationships of genus Platyphalus and reveal that PlatYcephalus indicus was split at the basal clade.
Phylogeographic analysis of the genus Platycephalus along the coastline of the northwestern Pacific inferred by mitochondrial DNA
TLDR
Distributional rang variations may be the crucial factors shaping the genetic relationships of the genus Platycephalus, and Reproductive schooling and potential egg/larval dispersal ability, coupled with the effects of ocean currents, are responsible for the present phylogeographic pattern of PlatYcephalus sp.
Identification of Species in Genus Platycephalus from Seas of China
TLDR
This study identified all Platycephalus species in China seas for the first time and revealed that P. cultellatus was overlooked by previous ichthyologists, and morphological, especially phylogenetic analysis indicated that PlatYcephalus sp.
Taxonomic revision of the flathead genus Leviprora Whitley 1931, with recognition of Leviprora semermis (De Vis 1883) as a valid species (family Platycephalidae)
TLDR
The present study shows that Platycephalus semermis De Vis 1883, which was originally described from South Australia and has been considered to be possibly a junior synonym of L. inops, is the second nominal species of the genus.
Synonymy of Cymbacephalus staigeri (Castelnau 1875) and Cymbacephalus nematophthalmus (Günther 1860), and validity of Cymbacephalus parilis (McCulloch 1914) (Scorpaeniformes: Platycephalidae)
TLDR
It was confirmed that C. staigeri is conspecific with C. nematophthalmus, with the latter name having priority, and Cymbacephalus parilis becomes the valid name of the species, because no species having priority over C.Parilis exist.
Rediscovery and elaborate description of Platycephalus cultellatus Richardson, 1846 collected from the coastal waters of South China Sea
TLDR
The phylogenetic analysis supported the validity of P. cultellatus existed in the coastal waters of South China Sea and will contribute to species identification within this genus distributed in Chinese seas.

Platycephalus mortoni Macleay 1883, a junior synonym of Platycephalus fuscus Cuvier 1829 (Teleostei: Platycephalidae)
TLDR
The identity of Platycephalus mortoni Macleay 1883 was investigated and it was concluded P. mortoni is a junior synonym of P. fuscus.
Platycephalus orbitalis, a new species of flathead (Teleostei: Platycephalidae) collected from western Australia
TLDR
A new plataycephalid is described on the basis of specimens collected in the Indian Ocean off the coast of Western Australia at depths of 50–144 m, which had been mistakenly identified as P. marmoratus, which is now known to be restricted to eastern Australia.
Synonymy of two species of the genus Platycephalus and validity of Platycephalus westraliae (Teleostei: Platycephalidae)

Validity of Platycephalus grandispinis Cuvier, 1829, with Priority over Platycephalus longispinis Macleay, 1884 (Actinopterygii: Scorpaeniformes: Platycephalidae)
TLDR
It was determined that these two nominal species are synonyms, and the skinny sensory tubes tend to become more well developed with growth and to show a geographic cline, such a cline in any feature being recognized in the Platycephalidae for the first time.
