Very close to T. turgidus, of which it is the southern representative. 
Back and sides with pale spots, which are often surrounded by dark 
reticulations ; dark bars on sides fainter than in T. turgidus, the axillary 
bar scarcely darker than the others. Spines of upper parts much larger, 
farther apart, and more distinctly stellate, than in T. turgidiis, ceasing 
opposite front of dorsal and vent ; less than 40 in a series from eye to 
dorsal. Dorsal rather larger than in T. D. 8; A. 6. Georgia 
to Texas ; very abundant. Perhaps a variety of T. turgidus, but thus 
far readily distinguishable.

Body and fins mostly covered with small round black spots; a large 
black blotch before and around dorsal ; another on each side above gill- 
opening and pectoral. Spines short, compressed, the anterior root Hat, 
much longer than the other roots except anteriorly; sniiraocular cirrus 
well developed. Head 2f ; depth 2f. D. 12; A. 12. West Indies,

(Nardo, Ann. Sci. Regn. Lombard. Venet. 105, x, 1840: type Teirodon truncatus Retz.) 
Body oblong, the depth about half the height; skin smooth, tes- 
sellated, divided into small hexagonal scutella; otherwise essentially 
as in Mola. (Dedicated to A. Camillo Eanzani.)
