EIGENMANN: the freshwater fishes of BRITISH GUIANA 113 



The difference between the male and female of Poecilocharaz are indicated on 

 Plate XLIV, figures 1 and 2. 



In some of the Loricariidce the male is more abundantly supplied with spines. 

 In Pseudancistrus barbatus, for instance, the cheeks of the males are provided with 

 long bristles. In Lithoxus lithoides the pectoral spines are much longer in the 

 male (Plate XXIX, fig. 4) than in the female (fig. 3) and more profusely provided 

 with bristles. 



The peculiar barbels, much more profusely developed on the head of the male 

 Ancistrus than on the female, have long been known (Plate XXV, fig. 3).
