540 TYPES OF FISHES IN PARIS MUSEUM. 



59. Otolithus guatucupa. (Ciiv. & Val., v, 75.) 



Two specimens (.45°'); Montevi<l('o; D'Orbigiiy. 



This species lias oblicjue dark streaks aloii^ the Vmck, following the 

 rows of scales, much as iu C. reticulatum. Soft dorsal mostly covered 

 with small scales. Head compressed. Maxillary 2| in head. Canines 

 rather small. Eye 5^ iu head. Gill-rakers long and slender, about 14 

 in number. Caudal subtruncate, emarginate when not spread open. 

 D. X-I, 21. A. 1, 8. Lateral line, with 56 pores. A valid species, 

 allied to Cynoscion regale. It may stand as Cynoscion guatucupa. 



60. Otolitliias leiarchus. (Cnv. &, Val., v, 78.) 



A dried skin of a .young example, .23™ long, from Brazil, the color 

 faded and the tins all broken. 



A species of Cynoscion. Soft dorsal scaleless. Scales quite small, 

 there being about 90 pores in the lateral line. Maxillary 2^ in head. 

 Dorsal IX-I, 24. Anal shriveled, its spine covered by varnish. The 

 species may stand as Cynoscion leiarchus. 



61. Otolithus nebulosus. (Cuv. & Val., v, 79.) 



Type .27"' long, iu moderate condition. No locality. 

 Th's is the OtolitJms carollnensis of Cuv. & Val., and should stand as 

 Cynoscion maculatum. 



62. Corvina trispinosa. (Cuv. tfc Val., v, 109, 1830.) 



Two dried skins fastened to glass, .13'" long; Brazil; Delalande. 



A genuine member of the subgenus Stelliferus. Head 3| in length; 

 depth 3:1 . Eye 3.1 iu head; maxillary 2:J:; space between eyes 3 J. Pre- 

 opercle with three strong divergent spines near its angle, and smaller 

 si)ines above it. Mouth very oblique. Maxillary extending to middle 

 of eye; premaxillary in front, on level of pupil. Second anal spine If 

 in head; pectoral Ij; longest dorsal spine 1\. Dorsal rays not readily 

 counted, ai)parently X-I, 19. 



This is the species called by Steindachner (Ichth. Notizeu, i, 6) Cor- 

 vina steUifera, and it is <listiuct from the Corvina stellifera of Giinther, 

 which is the Corvina microps of Steindachner. It seems probable, as 

 supposed by Cuvier & A^alenciennes, that this is the original Bodianus 

 .HteUifer of Bloch, in which case it may stand as Sci^na (or Stellif- 



ERUS) STELLIFERA. 



63. Julis detersor. (Cuv. & Val., xiii, 408.) 



Two small specimens, in poor condition, from Martinique ; PMe. 

 These belong to the species called by Jordan & Hughes (Proc. U. S. 

 Xat. Mus., 1884, 08) Thalassoma eifasciatum. 



64. Julis psittaculus. (Cuv. & Val., xiii, 387, 1839.) 



Two specimens, in fair condition, from Surinam. They belong to 

 Platyglossus bivittatus. 



65. Julis crotaphus. (Cuv. & Val., xiii, 395; uol of Cuvier.)
