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, 1991, Platycephalus conatus Waite & McCulloch, 1915, Platycephalus endrachtensis Quoy & Gaimard, 1825, Platycephalus fuscus Cuvier, 1829, Platycephalus grandispinis Cuvier, 1829, Platycephalus laevigatus Cuvier, 1829, Platycephalus marmoratus Stead, 1908, Platycephalus orbitalis Imamura & Knapp, 2009, Platycephalus richardsoni Castelnau, 1872, Platycephalus speculator Klunzinger, 1872, Platycephalus westraliae (Whitley, 1938) and Platycephalus australis sp. nov. [formerly confused with Platycephalus indicus (Linnaeus, 1758)]. Previously suggested synonymies of several species are reevaluated and a key provided for all Australian species of Platycephalus.
在对澳大利亚鱼类扁头鱼属（Platycephalus Bloch，1785）的所有现存原始模式标本进行检查后，包括那些之前被归为同物异名的标本，对该属的分类进行了修订。本研究确认了以下16种澳大利亚鱼类，包括一个新物种：窄体扁头鱼（Platycephalus angustus Steindachner，1866）、黄斑扁头鱼（Platycephalus aurimaculatus Knapp，1987）、巴氏扁头鱼（Platycephalus bassensis Cuvier，1829）、蓝斑扁头鱼（Platycephalus caeruleopunctatus McCulloch，1922）、长吻扁头鱼（Platycephalus chauliodous Knapp，1991）、短吻扁头鱼（Platycephalus conatus Waite & McCulloch，1915）、恩氏扁头鱼（Platycephalus endrachtensis Quoy & Gaimard，1825）、棕扁头鱼（Platycephalus fuscus Cuvier，1829）、大棘扁头鱼（Platycephalus grandispinis Cuvier，1829）、光身扁头鱼（Platycephalus laevigatus Cuvier，1829）、云斑扁头鱼（Platycephalus marmoratus Stead，1908）、眶斑扁头鱼（Platycephalus orbitalis Imamura & Knapp，2009）、理查森扁头鱼（Platycephalus richardsoni Castelnau，1872）、投机扁头鱼（Platycephalus speculator Klunzinger，1872）、西澳扁头鱼（Platycephalus westraliae (Whitley, 1938)）和澳洲扁头鱼新种（Platycephalus australis sp. nov.）[以前与印度扁头鱼（Platycephalus indicus (Linnaeus, 1758)）混淆]。重新评估了之前提出的几个物种的同物异名，并为澳大利亚的所有扁头鱼物种提供了一个检索表。
