VI. 



The species of or related to Fseudolabrus are very numerous in the 

 temperate southern Pacific. Most of them appear to have all the char- 

 acteristics above contrasted with those of Lahrichthys, but a few devi- 

 ate and have been isolated in distinct genera or subgenera. Three such 

 genera or subgenera have been named, viz : Pseiulolabnis, Anstrolabrus, 

 and EiipetricMliys. 



PSEUDOLABKUS. 



Pseudolabri with dorsalis and analis naked and generally rounded 

 behind, and ventrales obtuse, having the second ray somewhat longest. 



The following species of rseudolabrus were diagnosed by Dr. Giinther 

 under the name Labrichthys: 



1. /'. ceUdotus (G. iv, 113; G. 1876; fig. E and T., pi. 31, /. 1-5). 



New Zealand, Australia. 



2. P. bofhryocosmus (G. iv, 114; fig. E. andT., pi. 31, /. 6-10). 



Australia, New Zealand. 



3. /'. psittaculus (G. IV, 114; fig. K. and T., pi. 56,/. 7-10). 



Tasmania. 



4. P. coccineus rubiginosus (G. iv, 114; Steind. and 1)., 1887; fig. F. Jap., pi. 86, f. 1). 

 Japan, China. 



5. P. gayi (G. iv, 115; fig. Gay Ich., pi. 8,/. 1). 

 Juan Fernandez. 



6. /'. itisrriptufi (G. iv, 115; fig. E. andT.. pi. 56,/. 1.2). 

 Norfolk Island, Raoul Island. 



7. P. laticlavius (G. iv, 115,507; G., 1867; fig. E and T., pi. 56,/. 3-6; McCoy, 1889, 



pi. 163). 

 Tasmania.
