HUBBS and WISNER REVISION OF THE SAURIES 



(1975a) charted the distribution of Scomberesox 

 saurus ( = S. s. scombroides ) in the South Atlantic 

 Ocean, and (1975b) of Scomberesox sp. in the 

 North and South Atlantic. Ueyanagi and coau- 

 thors have reported many captures of all the 

 scomberesocid species, primarily juveniles and 

 postlarvae, in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans and 

 the Mediterranean Sea. 



In Figures 12-17 we attempt to show the known 

 captures of all four species of scomberesocid fishes. 

 In each figure the solid circles represent material 

 examined by us. The large open circles in the 

 North Atlantic and southwestern Pacific Oceans 

 refer to literature records (specimens not seen by 

 us); we have not used this symbol for literature 

 records from the Pacific coasts of North and South 



Figure 12 — Distribution of Nanichthys simulans. Solid circles represent material examined by us; solid triangles represent localities 

 mapped by Ueyanagi et al. (1972); the large open circle in the southwestern Atlantic indicates 18 closely spaced collections (111 

 specimens), and the small open circles represent unpublished localities furnished by Parin; open squares refer to records mapped by 

 Dudnik <1975b); letters L and M refer to records from Lampe ii914) and by Murray and Hjort (1912). The question mark near 

 Madagascar represents Smith's 1955 record o{ Scomberesox saiinis from Aldabra Island, which seems to represent this species. The 

 query in the Red Sea refers to Borodin's 1930 record of a yount; "Scomberesox saurus."
