Gilbert, 112 (Punta Arenas); Jordan, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus. 1885, 378 (Panama). 



We secured but one small specimen, 115 millimetres in total length. 



This we have compared with a specimen of nearly the same size from 



Charleston, South Carollini, in Dr. Jordan's collection. In ours the 



preopercular spines are more numerous and very much smaller, the base 



of the anal fin is longer, the depth of the body is not so great, and the 



profile is steeper. The eye is longer than the snout, and the color is 



much darker than in the Charleston specimen. D. XI, 16; A. Ill, 11; 



scales 10-44-17.
