Fig- 11. — Cephalopholis kendalli Evermann & Scale, new species. Type 



jecting: several bands of sharp teeth in each jaw with a single curved canine on each side anteriorly, the inner 

 teeth largest and depressible; teeth on vomer and palatines; gillrakers sharp, their inner surface spinulosc, 

 9 developed on lower limb, the longest 2 in orbit; margin of preopercle rounded, finely denticulate, the dentic- 

 ulations scarcely enlarged at angle; opercle with 3 distinct spines, the upper one more distant from center 

 one and slightly more posterior than lower; opercular membrane very obtusely rounded, the upper margin 

 concave. 



Body covered with line ctenoid scales: head and nuchal region with cycloid scales; maxillary scaled, the 

 scales on nuchal region and top of head very fine, about 80 in series in front of dorsal: origin of dorsal above 

 base of pectoral, the spines increasing in length posteriorly, the second spine 1.3.5 in ninth, the first 2.5 in 

 ninth: rays of soft dorsal much longer than spines, the longest ray 2.5 in head; second anal spine longest, 

 3 in head; longest anal ray 2 in head; origin of anal nearer to base of caudal than to origin of ventrals; pectoral 

 1.5 in head, tip extending slightly posterior to vent, but not reaching a line with origin of anal fin; ventrals 2 

 in head, their origin midway between tip of snout and base of sixth anal ray, their tips reaching to, but not 

 beyond, vent: caudal rounded, 1.75 in head.
