ICHTHYOLOGY OF VENEZUELA — SCHULTZ 43 



ANCHOA GINSBURGI HUdebrand 



Anchoa ginsburgi Hildebrand, Bull. Bingham Oceanogr. Coll., vol. 8, art. 2, 

 p. 55, fig. 20, 1943 (Gulf of Venezuela). 



The following specimens were collected by the U. S. S. Niagara in 

 the Gulf of Venezuela in 1925: 



Holotype, U.S.N.M. No. 119788, Estanques Bay, February 20. 



Paratypes as follows: 



U.S.N.M. Nos. 119789, 1 specimen, and 127608, 7 specimens, both lots bearing 

 same data as holotype. 



U.S.N.M. No. 127609, 3 specimens, Salinas Bay, April 4-5. 

 U.S.N.M. No. 127610, 4 specimens, Jacuque Point, January 26. 



ANCHOA LYOLEPIS (ETermann and Marsh) 



Stolephorus lyolepis Evermann and Marsh, Bull. U. S. Fish Comm., vol. 20, p. 89, 



fig. 13, 1902 (Culebra, Puerto Rico). 

 Anchoa lyolepis Hildebrand, Bull. Bingham Oceanogr. Coll., vol. 8, art. 2, p. 65, 



fig. 25, 1943 (Gulf of Venezuela). 



The specimen reported by Dr. Hildebrand bears U.S.N.M. No. 

 127623 and is from Point Macolla, Gulf of Venezuela. 



ANCHOA TRICOLOR (Agassiz) 



Engraulis tricolor Agassiz, in Spix and Agassiz, Selecta genera et species piscium 

 . . . Brasiliam . . . , p. 51, pi. 23, fig. 1, 1829 iBahia, Pard). 



Anchoa tricolor Hildebrand, Bull. Bingham Oceanogr. Coll., vol. 8, art. 2, p. 74, 

 fig. 30, 1943 (? Gulf of Venezuela), 



The specimen from Amuay Bay recorded by Dr. Hildebrand does 

 not seem to be in the national collections. Both of the first gill arches 

 were destroyed, according to his original data, and thus the specimen 

 measuring 63 mm. in total length was referred to A. tricolor with 

 much doubt. I have not seen any specimens of this species from 

 Venezuela, and for identification the number of gill rakers must be 

 known.
