Genus INIMICUS Jordan and Starks 



According to Jordan and Starks this genus differs from Pelor 

 chiefly in the absence of long filamentous tips to the upper rays of 

 the pectorals. The head is also more depressed and of sHghtly differ- 

 ent shape. Evidently the two species they admit are referable to 

 only one, Inimicu-^ miranfmevs., differing chiefly in its orange color, or 

 blackish tinged with orange, but without distinct cross bands.
