66. Pores in lateral line 18 + 2 + 6; dorsal half of body brownish, ventral 

 half pale; white streak (3) passing from snout tip just below eye 

 across upper edge of pectoral base, thence straight to base of 

 caudal fin; this white streak may be obsolete and replaced by a 

 dark brown streak or black one just behind head and on caudal 

 peduncle; scales with brown dots below lateral streak in area 

 above anal fin forward to pectoral base; belly and breast 



unspotted S. kalosoma *^ (Bleeker) 



2b. Pectoral rays normally ii,12 or ii,13. 



7a. Pores in lateral line 18 + 2 + 6; pectoral rays usually ii,13. 

 8a. White streak (1) beginning on nape each side of middorsal line and 

 passing posteriorly along base of dorsal fin; another (2) beginning 

 on middle of snout and passing to upper part of eye, thence 

 across opercle just below upper edge of gill opening, thence behind 

 head on a shghtly slanting course to midbase of caudal fin; another 

 (3) beginning at middle of edge of preorbital, passing just along 

 lower edge of eye to dorsal edge of pectoral base, thence to axil of 

 pectoral ending there; another (4) beginning on middle of cleith- 

 rum, curving to just under pectoral base and continuing posteri- 

 orly, ending about opposite anus or, opposite 11th to 13th lateral 

 line pore; no alternating white or brown streaks ventrally on 

 body. Adult male; known as S. renardi (Bleeker).

 small dark brown or black dots or small spots encircled with 



white (blue when alive) line S. axillaris (Quoy and Gaimard) 



96. White streak (1) beginning at dorsal edge of eye, extending to nape, 



thence posteriorly along base of dorsal fin; another (2) beginning 



at middle of snout, then extending to front of eye, reappearing 



on posterior side of eye and curving dorsally to upper edge of gill 



opening, thence passing just below lateral line ending opposite 



about 4th or 5th lateral line scale. 



10a, White streak (3) beginning at middle of preorbital and passing 



along ventral edge of eye to just a little above pectoral fin 



base, curving down a little behind pectoral base then following
