Abstract
Oxyrhynchaxius dampieri sp. nov. is described and compared to other species in Oxyrhynchaxius Parisi, 1917, particularly O. manningi Lin, Kensley and Chan, 2000 which was described from almost the same locality on the Northwest Shelf of Australia. Oxyrhynchaxius dampieri differs from O. manningi in several respects most noticably by having a tapered straight rostrum rather than a down-turned rostrum and the cornea is elongate and not pigmented rather than short and pigmented.
