Types of nominal species. — Scomber guttatus 

 Bloch and Schneider 1801. The original descrip- 

 tion was based on a specimen from Tranquebar, 

 India. No types are known to be extant. The 

 figure in the original description leaves little 

 doubt as to the identity of the name. 



Scomber leopardus Shaw 1803 was based on 

 the "wingeram" of Russell (1803:pl. 134); no types 

 are extant. 



Cybium interruptum Cuvier in Cuvier and 

 Valenciennes 1831. Holotype: MNHN A.5522; 

 Pondichery, India; Leschenault; 375 mm FL; D 

 ? + ? + IX; A ? + VII; lateral line branched anteri- 

 orly; dried, dorsal fin badly damaged. A photo- 

 graph of the type was published by Blanc and 

 Bauchot (1964:pl. 3, fig. 13). 



Cybium kuhlii Cuvier in Cuvier and Valen- 

 ciennes 1831. Lectotype: MNHN A.5771; Java; 

 Kuhl and van Hasselt; 108 mm FL; selected by 



Collette (1966:368); D XVII + 21 + VIII; A 21 + 

 VIII; P 1 22; RGRi 2+1 + 9=12; vertebrae 21 + 30 

 = 51. A photograph of the lectotype was published 

 by Blanc and Bauchot (1964:pl. 3, fig. 14, upper 

 fish). Paralecto types: RMNH 1239 (1, 190 mm 

 FL) and 1241 (1, 108 mm FL); Java; Kuhl and van 

 Hasselt; and MNHN A.5715 (1, 115 mm FL); 

 Bombay; Dussumier. Photographs of RMNH 1239 

 and MNHN A.5715 have been published by Boese- 

 man (1964:pl. 5, fig. 19) and Blanc and Bauchot 

 (1964:pl. 3, fig. 14, lower fish), respectively. 



Cybium Croockewitii Bleeker 1851. Holotype: 

 RMNH 6054; Banka, Strait near Muntok, East 

 Indies (= Indonesia); J. H. Croockewit; D XV+ 24 

 + VII; A 23 + VII; Pi 21-21; RGRi 2+1+9=12; 

 lateral line with fine branches anteriorly. A pho- 

 tograph of the type was published by Boeseman 

 (1964:pl. 5, fig. 18). 



Diagnosis. — This species shares with S. ko- 

 reanus the presence of numerous fine auxiliary 

 branches from the anterior part of the lateral line 

 (Fig. 54). It differs from S. koreanus in having the 

 usual two loops and three limbs to the intestine 

 instead of four loops and five limbs. Anterior end 

 of premaxilla forms a blunt rather than inter- 

 mediate or acute angle. Ascending process of 

 premaxilla short as in S. cavalla. Scapular fora- 

 men small as in S. koreanus and S. niphonius. 

 Supraoccipital crest high as in S. koreanus and 

 S. multiradiatus. 



Description. — Lateral line gradually descending 

 to midline on caudal peduncle. Intestine with two 

 folds and three limbs (Fig. 2e). Spines in first 

 dorsal fin 15-18, usually 16 or 17 (Table 9); second 

 dorsal fin rays 18-24, usually 20-22 (Table 10); 

 dorsal finlets 7-10, usually 8 or 9 (Table 10); anal 

 fin rays 19-23, usually 20-22 (Table 11); anal 

 finlets 7-10, usually 8 (Table 11); pectoral fin rays 

 20-23, usually 21 (Table 12). Precaudal vertebrae 

 19-22, usually 21 (Table 6); caudal vertebrae 28- 

 31, usually 29 or 30 (Table 7); total vertebrae 47- 

 52, usually 50 or 51 (Table 8). Gill rakers on first 

 arch (1-2) + (7-12) = 8-14, usually 2 + (9-10)= 11-12 

 (Table 5). Morphometric characters given in Ta- 

 ble 17. 



Size. — Maximum size 76 cm FL. Size at first 

 maturity 48-52 cm TL in southern India (Krish- 

 namoorthi 1958), 41-45 cm TL in Thailand (Ton- 

 gyai 1966b). 



Color pattern. — Nakamura and Nakamura (1982)
