The species of Acanthocybium, locally called "Ono," found at Honolulu, 



presumably the original Acanthocybium solandri (type from Tahiti), is a very 



50 + 50 

 distinct species, with much smaller teeth, rn i en' ^^^ snout sharper, and the 



oU ~|— oU 



body slenderer. The huge size of these fishes makes it usually impossible to 



retain specimens. The existence of the two species in the Pacific renders it 



highly probable that the Atlantic species Acanthocybium petus (Poey) is distinct 



from both.
