1972), Wadge Bank south of India (Malpas 1926), 

 the Malabar coast (MNHN A.6866, holotype of C. 

 lineolatum), Cochin (5 specimens measured, 1 

 dissected), and Bombay (MNHN A. 5783). Records 

 of S. lineolatus from East Africa (Williams 1960) 

 are referrable to S. plurilineatus. The report of S. 

 lineolatus from Western Australia (McKay 1970) 

 was based on a specimen (HUMZ F-422) of S. 

 munroi. 



Geographic variation. — Comparisons of morpho- 

 metric data by ANCOVA were made for four small 

 samples of S. lineolatus: Arabian Sea (n = 7-12), 

 Bay of Bengal (n = 4-6), Gulf of Thailand (n = 3- 

 5), and East Indies (n = 4-6). No significant 

 differences were found. No meristic differences 

 were found between populations. 



Material examined. —Total 31 (160-786 mm FL).
