MICROOYPRINI. 



PCEOILIID^l. 



As pointed out by Regan, this family embraces several well-defined 

 sub-families. To these several others are likely valid, as the Pro- 

 catopince (Procatopus) , with the ventrals placed below the pectorals, 

 and the Lamprichthyinw (Lamprichthys) , with ctenoid scales and 

 long anal fin (27 to 30 rays), both off -shoots from the Fundulince. 

 The Phallostethince (Phallostethus) diverge from the PoeciliinoB, 

 with the ventrals modified as an intromittent organ. 



FUNDULINjE. 



FUNDULUS LaeSpede. 



GALASACCUS subgen. nov. 



Type Hydrargira similis Baird and Girard. 



Form rather elongate. Snout usually long and conspicuous. 

 Jaws wide, sometimes produced. Sexes usually unlike in coloration, 

 and female often with dark lengthwise lines. Females also without 

 an anal tube on front of anal fin, but in its place basal sheath usually 

 present. No nuptial tubercles or denticles on anal rays of male 

 during spawning season. 



Hydrargira Lacepede cannot be used for this group, as its monotype, 

 H. swampina Lacepede, is a synonym of Cobitis heteroclita Linne 

 and thus a synonym of Fundulus.
