FAMILY POMACENTRIDAE — WOODS AND SCHULTZ 57 



length from snout tip to rear edge of maxiUary 101 ; postorbital length 

 of head 147; interorbital width 100; depth of caudal peduncle 160; 

 length of caudal peduncle from base of last anal ray to midbase of 

 caudal fin 192; length of longest ray of pectoral 287, pelvic 313, upper 

 caudal fin 307, lower lobe of caudal fin 300, spiny dorsal 160; length 

 of next to last dorsal spine 160; width of white part of first pale bar, 

 at level of lateral line, 73, of second 40, of last, or peduncular, 20. 



Depth of body 1.7; head 3.4; both in standard length. Snout 3.2; 

 eye 3.1; preorbital width 8.0; upper jaw 2.8; postorbital part of head 

 2.0; interorbital width 3.0; depth of caudal peduncle 1.8. Length 

 of pectoral fin 1.0; pelvic 0.9; second dorsal spine 23; upper caudal 

 rays 0,9 to 1.0; all in length of head. Depth of caudal peduncle in 

 its length 1.2. Angle of upper profile of head with lengthwise axis 

 of body about 50 degrees; profile of head convex. 



Teeth in both jaws in a single row, nearly conical, a little compressed 

 forward, pointed; interorbital space scaled forward to a line connect- 

 ing between middle of pupils; 4 or 5 rows of scales on cheeks; gill 

 cover with a few scales; scales occur part way out on all median fins; 

 preorbital with 3 spines, and suborbital with 10 to 12 smaller spines. 



Color in alcohol. — Background coloration of body from about fifth 

 dorsal spine posteriorly and dorsally to midlengthwise axis of body 

 blackish, the anteroventral part of body pale light brown, becoming 

 paler ventrally; spiny dorsal dark brown, soft dorsal black, caudal 

 fin black, except edged with white posteriorly; pectoral and pelvic 

 fins pale or very light tan, anal pale or Ught tan and distally edged 

 with a black line; first white bar from a little in front of dorsal origin 

 just behind eye, ending on lower edge of subopercle; second white 

 bar begins on last dorsal spine and base of first soft ray in lower third 

 of fin, thence extends ventrally, meeting its fellow in narrow space 

 between anal origin and anus; thu'd white bar, about half width of 

 second, or narrower than width of pupil, crosses caudal peduncle just 

 in front of caudal fin base. 



Remarks. — This species may be recognized by the narrowness of 

 the three white bars, especially the second and third, the black caudal 

 fin narrowly edged with white posteriorly. 



Named tricincius in reference to the three white bars.
