 p. 648). 



269. Hoplichthys langsdorfi Cuvier & Valenciennes. 



Yawatahama, in lyo; Misaki, No. 6017a. 



We have elsewhere stated that this is not the Hoplichthys langsdorfi of Jordan 

 & Richardson, which is a third species, Hoplichthys regani Jordan. These speci- 

 mens agree with the plate of H. langsdorfi of Cuvier & Valenciennes, except that 

 the number of anal rays is seventeen. H. langsdorfi differs from the other two 

 species in having two well-developed spines on each body-scute, instead of one, 

 as in H. gilberti, H. regani, and the Hawaiian species, H. citrinus. 



Scutes 27; D. VI.-15; A. 17. Eye 4.5 in head, pectoral appendages not 

 reaching tip of pectoral by 1.25 diameter of eye. Height of spinous dorsal 3.66 in 

 head.
