FISHES FROM WESTERN AUSTRALIA — WAITE. 69 



The generic named Parma, Giinther, is here regarded as synony- 

 mous with Jfi/psipops, Gill. Some notes on this question will be 

 found in an earlier issue of the Records." 



The synonomy of the species would appear to be as follows : — 



Htpsipops miceolepis, Giinther. 



Glttphisodon hiocellatus, Bennett, Proc. Zool. Soc, xxvii., 1859, 

 Pisces, pi. ix. (not Cr. hiocellatus, Cuvier and Valenciennes.) 



Farma microlepix, Giinther, Cat. Fish. Brit. JVIus., iv., 1862, p. 57. 



Par)na squamipinnis, Giinther, loc. ciL, pp. 58 and 505.

Glyphidodon brownriggii, Waite, Proc. Linn. Soc. N. S. Wales, (2), ix„ 

 1894, p. 219, (not Cluetodon hrownriggii, Bennett). 



Luc. — This species is common in Port Jackson and neighbouring- 

 waters, whence the examples studied and figured were taken. 

 Mr. Woodward's specimens were obtained at Houtman's Abrolhos. 



PsEUDOLABRUS PUXCTULATUS, Giinther. 



Ldhrirhfhijs 2)iinctulata, Giinther, Cat. Fish. Brit. Mus., iv., 1862, 

 p. 118. 



(Plate xiii.) 



Mr. Woodward forwards specimens of this species from 

 Mandurah ; Castelnau^- recorded it from the Westei'n State and 

 the Australian Museum posseses examples taken in South Aus- 

 tralian waters. 



In one specimen, undoubtedly of this species, the pale blue 

 spots cannot be detected, and have indeed almost faded from all. 

 In the absence of more stable points of difference we may assume 

 that Castelnau's Lahriclitlii/s eilcloisis'^''', as he himself hinted, 

 represents an example so faded. 



Tlie root of this latter specific name is used several times by 

 Castelnau in his paper on the Fishes of Western Australia. His 

 genus Edflia is rediagnosed by Mr. J. D. Ogilby", who writes : — 

 ^' Den'v. ign.^^ Though I regard a zoological name as a name 

 only, without significance, Mr. Ogilby carefully studies the ety- 

 mology, but in this instance failed to ascertain the origin of the 

 name.
