as ideutical with M. jacobus. Rhinoberyx cJiry.sem Co[)e, based on a

CENTROPOMID^. 



65. Centropomus undecimalis Lac. Rohulo. 



{Centropomus appendiculatus Pocy.) 



There seems to be no evidence that this species is not the original 

 undecimalis of Lacepede. According to Dr. Yaillaut, the specimens ex- 

 amined by Ciivier & Valenciennes have the appendages to the air-blad- 

 der which are characteristic of this species. 



66. Centropomus pedimacula Foey. 



67. Centropomus ensiferus Poey. 



{Ce)itropomu.s affinis Steiudachner.) 



Allied to C. armafus Gill of the Pacific coast, but distinct from the 

 latter.

68. Serranus phoebe Poey. 



69. Serranus tabacarius Cuv. & VaL Jaeome. 



{Haliperca jaeome Poey.) 



Color in life brownish-red above, with areas of light yellow on sides of 

 back; yellow below eye ; sides bright orange-yellow; belly and lower 

 parts of head red ; lower fins light orange; caudal red, with two stripes 

 of deep red; dorsal red-shaded, a maroon blotch on each part extending 

 upward from a similar blotch on back; iris yellow. 



70. Serranus formosus L. Serrtuio. 



{DipUctnim nuUunii Poe^'.) 



71. Hypoplectrus indigo Poey. Vaca. 



(IJijjmph'clriis indiyo iiwd boruiim Poey.)

 of sky-blue on a ground color of intligo. A broad deep-blue band be- 

 low the eye, with a paler area on each side of it ; tins nearly plain, the 

 pectoral palest, tinged with yellowish. The H. bovinus of Poey is cer- 

 tainly the adult of this species. 



72. Paranthias furcifer Cuv. & Val. Ruhirnhia dc lo Alio. 



{nruchijrliiinisfiircifer Poey; the name Jirachyrhiiiun is preoccupied.) 



73. Mycteroperca falcata Poey. Abadejo.
