THREE NEW SPECIES OF FROGFISHES 



FROM THE INDIAN AND PACIFIC OCEANS 



WITH NOTES ON OTHER SPECIES 



(FAMILY ANTENNARIIDAE) 



By Leonard P. Schultz 



The purposes of this paper are: (1) to evaluate further certain 

 diagnostic characters of frogfishes; (2) to call attention to nomencla- 

 tural changes; (3) to describe three new species; (4) to record speci- 

 mens and data not available at the time I reviewed the family 

 Antennariidae (Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus., vol. 107, no. 3383, pp. 47-105, 

 8 figs., 14 pis., 1957). 



I am grateful to the staffs of the California Academy of Sciences 

 (CAS), San Francisco, California; of the University of Hawaii (UH), 

 Honolulu, Hawaii; and of the Division of Systematic Biology, Stanford 

 University (SU), for permitting me to study the specimens in their 

 collections. The following abbreviations, refer to other specimens 

 recorded in this paper: RMNH (Rijikmuseum van Natuurlijke 

 Historic, Leiden) and USNM (United States National Museum).
