 in head; eye 5 to h)i, 2% to 2% in snout, 1% to Iji in interorbital ; 

 maxillary reaches % to % in snout, expansion equals eye, length 2}^ 

 to 2% in head; barbels reach ventral, length 1% to 1}^ in head; teeth 

 conic, short, strong, 29 above, 22 belov^, uniserial, none on palate; 

 interorbital 4 to 4}$, broadly convex. Gill rakers 7 + 27, lanceolate, 

 slightly larger than gill filaments or 1% in eye.

 rows on cheek below eye to lower preopercle edge. Tubes of lateral 

 hne with 3 to 8 tubules. Scales with 4 or 5 basal radiating striae; 106

 circuli fine. 



D. VIII-I, 8, I, third spine 1% in head, first branched ray 3 to 3}^; 

 A. II, 6, 1, first branched ray 3 to 3%; caudal 1% to 1%, deeply forked,

Hawaiian Islands. In my "Fishes of Oceania" I united this spe- 

 cies with Upeneus taeniatus Kner, but that species is shown with 

 greatly shorter barbels and two dark longitudinal bands, parallel, 

 along upper side of body. The present species approaches Pseudu- 

 peneus luteus in most every way, except that it is figured by Bleeker 

 with four blue horizontal bands on the head.
