ART. 33. NOTES ON FISHES OF HAWAII E. K. JORDAN 39 



Giinther/^ but gracilis is described as "yellowish, blackish pos- 

 teriorly," which does not correspond to the dark coloration of 

 unibratilis. 



Family LOPHOTIDAE 



Genus Lophotes Giorna 



LOPHOTES CAPELLEI ScWegel, 



Recorded by Fowler, from Laysan. 



Family BALISTIDAE 



Genus PARABALISTES Bleeker 



Cheeks mostly naked; no spines on tail; ventral spine movable; 

 dorsal and anal elevated ; caudal lobes filamentous in the adult. 



PARABALISTES FUSCUS Schneider. 



Recorded by Fowler. 



Genus CANTHIDERMIS Swainson 



CANTmOERMIS ANGULOSUS Qnoy and Gaimard. 



This rare species, figured by Jordan and Jordan, is probably the 

 one recorded by Fowler as C anthidertnis niaculatus Bloch. The 

 body is covered with round white spots. 



CANTHIDERMIS ROTUNDATUS Proce. 



Recorded by Fowler. This species, as described by Proce,^° is 

 said to be brown with black dots; D. III-26; A. 21. Scales tri- 

 cuspid; equal; tail unarmed. 



Family MONACANTHIDAE 



Genus CANTHERINES Swainson 



Pseudomonacanthus Bleeker, with pronounced barbs on the dorsal 

 spine, can not be separated from CantJierhies^ in which the spine is 

 simply rough ; there is a perfect gradation between the two types. 



CANTHERINES SANDWICHIENSIS Quoy and Gaimard. 



A common species, the body color in life nearly uniform black, 

 with orange dorsal and anal. The snout is hardly paler than the 

 rest of body ; caudal nearly black, not barred with lighter. Ventral 

 flap not much enlarged; dorsal spine very long and slender, its 

 length nearly equal to that of head, the surface of the spine not 

 very rough. C. fardalis Riippell of the East Indies may be distinct, 

 but C. carolae Jordan and MacGregor, of the Revillagigedo Islands
