This species, previously known as Melamphaes 

 bispinosus or Seopelogadus bispinosus, has re- 

 cently been shown to be a subspecies of Scopelo- 

 gadus mizolepis (Giinther) by Ebeling (1963:19).

This species has been listed under the name of 

 its junior synonym, Poromitra cristiceps (Gilbert) .

These specimens, with relatively small eyes and 

 a low number of dorsal fin rays (III, 10 or 11) are 

 representative of a new species. This was called 

 to our attention by A. W. Ebeling (personal com- 

 munication), who is preparing a detailed descrip- 

 tion for publication.

This species has generally been known in this 

 area as Scopeloberyx nycterinus (Gilbert). The 

 synonymy of S. nycterinus with S. robustus has 

 recently been determined by A. W. Ebeling (per- 

 sonal communication).

This record extends the known range of this 

 species eastward from west of the Hawaiian Is- 

 lands, as delimited by Ebeling (1962, fig. 47).

This species previously has only been reported 

 from the tropical eastern and central Pacific (Ebel- 

 ing, 1962, fig. 53). 



142. Melamphaes longivelis Parr.

This specimen represents a range extension for 

 the species of about 260 km. (160 miles) northeast 

 from that shown by Ebeling (1962 : 77, not fig. 44) .
