behind. Pectoral moderate, reaches | to anal or about opposite 

 vent. Ventral inserted just behind pectoral base and reaches vent, 

 spine f of fin. Vent close before anal. 



Color in alcohol brownish generally, paler on belly and lower 

 surface of head. Dorsals and anals deep l^rown to dusky. Last 

 longest rays of soft dorsal with large black ocellus, not quite large 

 as eye, on terminal portion of fin. Caudal, pectoral and ventral 

 pale brownish. Pectoral axil pale, though external base with black- 

 ish-brown vertical wedge-shaped mark on upper portion. Upper- 

 most opercular scale with dusky blotch, much smaller than pupil. 

 Iris slaty. 



Length 65 mm. (caudal tips slightly damaged). 



Type, No. 47,528, A. N. S. P. 



Philippine Islands. Presented by the Commercial Museums of 

 Pliiladelphia. 



Also Nos. 47,529 and 47,530, paratypes, same data. These show: 

 Head 2| to 3|; depth 2; D. XIV, 13 or XIV, 14; A. II, 15; tubes in 

 upper arch of 1.1. 16 and pores in straight section 10 to 12 to caudal 

 base; snout 3 to 3| in head; eye 2| to 3; maxillary 3 to 3|; interorbital 

 3 to 3j; length 41 to 61 mm. All show ocellus on soft dorsal well 

 developed, but preorbital spines very variable, and they may be 

 single or double, even in the same inch vi dual. 



Apparently uniciue in its coloration this species is characterized 

 by the large black ocellus behind and terminally on soft dorsal. 

 With the preceding three species this one appears to fall in Bleeker's 

 subgenus Pseudopomacentrus. 



('0-{(tOsWj rear; Gztyiia^ spot.) 



Pomacentrus lividus (Forster). 



Two small examples which do not show any scales on the lower 

 limb of the preopercle, as in Bleeker's figure, and only 2 rows occur 

 on the cheek. 



Cheiloprion labiatus (Day). 



Two examples. Weber figures the head from his single example" 

 and though his text says the scales on the cheek are in 2| to 3 rows 

 his figure shows 6 or 7. The former numbers are more in agreement 

 with Day's figure, which is called Pomacentrus lahiosus?^
