2020. CHLORICHTHYS GRAMMATICUS (Gilbert). 



Head 31 to 3|; depth 3 to 3^; eye 2i iu snout. D. VIII, 13; A. Ill, 11. 

 Maxillary 4^ in head ; snout 3 ; interorbital width 4. Two canines in front 

 of each jaw; no posterior canines; teeth gradually enlarging toward 

 front of each jaw, those next the anterior pair not more than f their 

 length. Interopercles greatly produced, meeting or overlapping on me- 

 dian line below. Scales somewhat reduced on nape and breast, continuous 

 over median line of nape; 7 or 8 oblique rows in front of dorsal, 9 or 10 

 series in front of ventrals; well-detined sheaths at bases of dorsal and 

 anal. Caudal fin very deei)ly lunate, the outer rays greatly produced, 

 forming lobes nearly twice as long as median rays in the adult, but little 

 produoed in tlie young; outer ventral rays j^roduced, not twice length 

 of inner rays, not reaching vent ; pectorals Ii in head ; dorsal spines pun- 

 gent. Bright green, each scale of sides with a purplish bar at base ; head, 

 nape, breast, and belly purplish, the head with 4 green streaks on each 

 side margined narrowly with brown ; the lowermost bar runs on mandi- 

 ble, lower preopercular margin, and interopercle; the second runs from 

 mandibular articulation across cheek and subopercle, showing a strong 

 upward curve below eye; the third is nearly parallel with the second, run- 

 ning from angle of mouth to opercular margin, passing tlirough lower 

 margin of orbit; the fourth runs backward from orbit to u])per posterior 

 angle of opercle, then downward along margin of opercle to base of pec- 

 toral ; these streaks are continued backward more or less as wavy green 

 streaks on breast and sides below pectorals; dorsal and anal purplish 

 with a wide t<'rminal green bar nearly i as wide as fin; upper and lower 

 caudal rays purplish, the median rays light; pectorals and ventrals light 

 purplish; a small black blotch on base of pectorals above. Revilla- 

 gigedo Archipelago; abundant at Socorro Island; a single specimen 

 from Clarion Island, the largest obtained, 11^ inches long. (Gilbert.)
