ADDENDA AND CORRIGENDA CHEIRODONTIN.E 



(Note. More than a year after Memoir No. 1 upon the Cheirodontince had 

 been pubhshed the Author sent the following paragraphs to one of the stenographers 

 in the Museum, requesting her to include them in the corrigenda. This lady very 

 properly turned the paper over to the Editor, who presumes that the Author intends 

 that they shall be published, and accordingly inserts them here as submitted.) 



P. 43. Instead of "19. Phanagoniates wilsoni Eigenmann" read: 



"19. Phanagoniates 7nacrolepis (Meek & Hildebrand). 

 Roeboides macrolepis Meek & Hildebrand, Field Mus. Publ. Zool. Ser., vol. X, 1913, 



p. 84 (Rio Cupe, Boca de Cupe, Rio Tuyra). 

 P. 69. Meek & Hildebrand reporting on the wealth of material collected by them 

 in Panama (Field Mus. Publ. Zool. Ser., vol. X, 1916, pp. 273-276), find that 

 the specimens reported as Cheirodon insignis by Evermann and Goldsborough 

 are representatives of a new genus and species, Pseudocheirodon affinis, 

 Meek & Hildebrand, and that Cheirodon gorgonae Evermann & Goldsborough, 

 placed in the synonymy of Cheirodon insignis, is a member of the genus Comp- 

 sura. 

 P. 99, add: Mimagoniates Regan. 

 Mimagoniates Regan, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist., (7), XX, 1907, p. 402. 



This genus is related to Prionobrama but lacks maxillary teeth and the anal

"Body strongly elongate, compressed; abdomen keeled, but not strongly 

 compressed to an edge. Mouth small; teeth tricuspid, in a single series; no maxil- 

 lary teeth: palate toothless. Nostrils close together. Gill-membranes not united, 

 free from the isthmus. Scales cycloid, of moderate size; lateral Ime incomplete. 

 Dorsal fin short, posterior in position; adipose fin present; anal fin elongate. 



"Intermediate between Chirodon, Girard, and Leptagoniates, Blgr." 



Mimagoniates Barberi Regan. 



"Depth of body 3-3.66 in the length, length of head 4-4.4. Snout much 



shorter than eye, the diameter of which is 2.5-2.75 in the length of the head and a 



Uttle less than the interorbital width. Cleft of mouth nearly vertical; maxillary 



not extending to below the eye. 42-45 scales in a longitudinal series; lateral line
