LAMPROLOGUS MODESTUS Boulenger 



One small example, U.S.N.M. no. 84122, from Kigoma, 32 mm in 

 standard length, appears to belong to this species. It has a larger 

 eye and shorter snout than my examples of L. mondalu. The lateral 

 scales to end of hypural fan are 35, while the upper lateral line count 

 is 25, the lower 7. The depth is about 3.6 in the standard length and 

 the caudal appears to be truncate. There are 9 rakers, the first very 

 short, on the lower limb of the first gill arch. Dorsal XIX-9. 

 Anal V-6. 



LAMPROLOGUS MONDABU Boulenger 



Four examples of this long-snouted species, L^.S.N.M. no. 84128, 

 from Kigoma, 00 to 80 mm in standard length, agree admirably with 

 Boulenger's description and figure, which were based on two speci- 

 mens from Kaboge. My count of the dorsal is XIX-9, and of the 

 anal V-6 or 7. Scales from upper end of gill opening to end of 

 hypural fan 36 to 40. These scale counts are lower than Boulenger's 

 but agree with his figure. Caudal distinctly emarginate. 



LAMPROLOGUS RETICULATUS Boulenger 



Two small specimens, U.S.N.M. no. 102113, from Kigoma, 34 and 

 40 mm in standard length, show the dark, reticulated pattern of this 

 species. The caudal is truncated. Dorsal XIX-9. Anal VIII-8. 

 Lateral scales to end hypural 36 to 37. LTpper lateral line 21 or 22 

 (indistinct or interrupted near end) ; lower short, 6 or 7. I can count 

 only 13 rakers on lower part of first gill arch. These specimens have 

 the elongate form of the type and only known example of Z. reticu- 

 latus and are in no way similar to L. caUiurus Boulenger or L. finali- 

 Trms Nichols and La Monte (1931, p. 1).
