Family BROTULID^E. 



WATASEA Jordan and Snyder, new genus. 



Type of genus, Watat<cu slvlcola {Brotulldcb) Jordan and Snyder, 

 new species. This genus is distinguished from Slremho {/inlxi'his) Ijy 

 having two spines on the preopercle and the ventrals bitid. In Slreiiiho 

 the preopercle has no spines and the ventrals are reduced to slendei', 

 undivided filaments. From Neohythltes^ which is uuich mon* closely 

 allied, Watasea ditiers in the presence of two stout spines on the preo- 

 percle. In Iloplohi'otula^ which is still closer, three stout spines on 

 the preopercle are developed. Marglnatus and perhaps other species 

 hitherto referred to Xcohyt kites belong rather to ^VataKe<(. Th(^ genus 

 is named in honor of Dr. Sho Watase, formerly professor in the 

 University of Chicago, now professor in zoology in the Imperial Uni- 

 versity of Tokyo.
