PINGUIPEDIDAE 



63 



Hab. Mocha Island, Chile. 



This species appears to be most nearly related to P. gilliesii (Hutton) from New 

 Zealand, but has one more spine in the dorsal fin, a greater number of dorsal and anal 

 rays, smaller scales, and a broader interorbital region. The absence of teeth on the 

 vomer distinguishes it from this and from all other species of Parapercis, but I am not 

 inclined to erect a new genus for its reception on this account. McCulloch (1914, 

 Biol. Res. 'Endeavour', 11, p. 154) has shown that the palatine teeth are sometimes 

 absent and sometimes present in certain species of Parapercis, and in P. gilliesii the 

 vomerine teeth are only 3 or 4 in number.
