Genus ELEUTHEROCHIR Bleeker 



Eleutherochir Bleeker, Versl. Meded. Akad. Wet. Amsterdam, ser. 2, vol. 14, 

 p. 103, 1879. (Type, Callionymus opercularioides Bleeker, orthotypic.) 



BrachycalUonymus Herre and Myers, in Herre, Proc. Biol. Soc. Washington, 

 vol. 49, p. 12, 1936. (Type, BrachycalUonymus mirus B.erre = Callionymus 

 opercularioides Bleeker, orthotypic.) 



There is hardly any question that the small specimens named as 

 BrachycalUonymus mirus Herre are the young of Eleutherochir opercu- 

 laris. 



Eleutherochir differs from the other genera especially in its even 

 head with straight profile. The gill opening resembles that of Synchi- 

 ropus, but is larger and hidden under the opercle, which is extended 

 back in a free-pointed lobe.
