 note = {A new genus, Leptomelanosoma, is proposed for the polynemid fish, Polydactylus
indicus (Shaw, 1804). The genus differs from all other genera in the family Polynemidae by
the following combination of characters: anterior one-third of lower jaw with small teeth
extending onto lateral surface, adjacent portion of lip poorly developed; ethmoid not
covered dorsally by frontals; sphenotics visible dorsally between anterior margins of parietal
and pterotic; upper and lower caudal fin lobes very long, filamentous; swimbladder with
many appendages inserted into lateral walls of abdominal cavity; grayish-black body. The
type species, Polydactylus indicus, is redescribed as Leptomelanosoma indicum.},
