with brownish. Length 7j inches. Two examples from HonoMu,

CARANGOIDES Bleeker. 



Nat. Tijds. Ned. Ind., I, 1850 (1851), pp. 343, 352 (prceustus). 



Originally Scyris, Alectis and Citula were included. No t3'pe is 

 indicated, though the first species mentioned, prceustus, was probably 

 intended. Carangoides plagiotcvnia cannot be used as it was not dis- 

 covered till later. ^^
