ART. 33. NOTES ON FISHES OF HAWAII E. K. JORDAN 19 



Genus EPINEPHELUS Bloch 



EPINEPHELUS SEPTEMFASCIATUS Thumberg. 



This Japanese species is added by Fowler. Hitherto but one 

 species of this widespread genus, E. qiiernus, has been noted in 

 Hawaii. 



Genus CAESIOPERCA GUnther 



CAESIOPERCA THOMPSONI Fowler. 



An interesting new species described by Fowler. 

 Genus ODONTANTHIAS Bleeker 



ODONTANTHIAS ELIZABETHAE Fowler. 



Another bright colored fish described by Fowler. 

 Genus CAPRODON Schlegel 



CAPRODON SCHLEGELI Giinther. 



Omitted by inadvertance in the record of Jordan and Jordan. 

 Described, with a colored plate, by Jordan and Snyder ^^, from a 

 specimen from Honolulu, the only one known from the Hawaiian 

 Islands. According to Tanaka, this specimen and the one described 

 earlier by Jordan and Richardson from Japan, belong to a species 

 distinct from C. schlegeli, which he names Caprodon afflnis^* C. 

 affinis is figured as having the body a little more elongate, and the 

 blackish blotches along the back extending, with interruptions, along 

 the whole base of the dorsal, while in G. schlegeli they are confined 

 to the posterior part of the spinous dorsal. On the Hawaiian speci- 

 men, figured by Jordan and Snyder, there is no black either on the 

 dorsal fin or on the back. This color probably disappears with age, 

 and Caprodon affinis would seem to be the young of Caprodon 

 schlegeli. 



CAPRODON LONGIMANUS Gunther. 



This species is recorded by Fowler. 



Family PRIACANTHIDAE 

 Genus PRIACANTHUS Cuvier 



PRIACANTHUS JAPONICUS Cuvier and Valenciennes. 



Two specimens of this large and handsome fish were secured. 

 This is with little doubt the form recorded by Fowler as P. hoops 

 Schneider, following Boulenger, who unites all the large PHacanthi 

 of both oceans under this name. P. hoops was originally described 

 from the South Atlantic; it has about 95 scales in longitudinal 

 series, about 60 along lateral line and only 12-13 dorsal and anal
