REVISION OF THE FISH FAMILY LIPARIDAE 85 



UPARIS ANTARCTICA Putnam 



Liparis antardica Putnam, 1873, p. 339.— Garman, 1892, p. 61, pi. 6, figs. 6-10. 

 Enantioliparis antardica Gill, 1891, p. 365. 



Type.— No. 12972, M. C. Z. Eden Harbor. Hassler Expedition, 

 1872. Length 32 mm. 



Distribution. — Known only from the type locality, Eden Harbor, 

 South America. 



Relationships. — L. antardica is widely divergent from any of the 

 northern species. The distinctive characters are the small number 

 of fin rays and coeca and the unnotched pectoral fin. L. antardica 

 and L. liparis have the least pyloric coeca of any of the species of 

 Liparis. In the character of the unnotched pectoral fin L. antardica 

 agrees with L. tanalcae and L. owstoni of Japan. 



Description oj type. — Dorsal 28; pyloric coeca 10; depth 3.6 in 

 length without caudal; head 3.2. Eye 4 in the head; disk 1.9. Gar- 

 man (1892) records the anal as with 24 and the pectoral with 30 rays. 



Body short and heavy as in L. callyodon. Head deep ; 

 depth about equal to the width; occiput swollen as in the 

 young of L. dennyi; cheeks slightly swollen. Mouth 

 terminal with little lateral cleft; maxillary reaching be- 

 neath the front of the pupil. Teeth stout, strongly 

 trilobed, in broad bands, arranged in oblique rows. 

 Snout abrupt, not projecting, lower jaw included. An- 

 terior nostril in a short tube; posterior nostril without 

 tube. Eye black. Gill slit above the pectoral. No 

 pricldes. Pyloric coeca in a single row, about 10. figure h- 



Dorsal apparently without a notch. Caudal broad, arctic a'. 

 connected for nearly one-half its length to the anal. toothfrom 



TYPE 



Pectoral somewhat mutilated, apparently unnotched, 

 possiblj" as figured. Disk large, round; snout to disk 8 in the length 

 without caudal. Vent close to the disk. Color pale, brown to slate; 

 peritoneum pale. 



Synopsis. — Dorsal 28; anal 24?; pectoral 30?; pyloric coeca 30. 

 Disk 1.9 in head. Gill slit above the pectoral fin. Dorsal fin un- 

 notched. Dorsal connected to the caudal for nearly two-fifths of the 

 length of the latter. Pectoral unnotched. A small-sized species. 



LIPARIS TANAKAE (Gilbert and Burke) 



Liparis owstoni Schmidt, 1904a, p. 189 (part, not of Jordan and Snj'der). — Tanaka, 



1908, p. 45, pi. 3, (part, not of Jordan and Snyder). 

 Cydogaster tanakae Gilbert and Burke, 19126, p. 357. 



Type. — No. 21417, S. U. Z. M. Vries Island, Sagami Sea, Japan. 

 Length 368 mm. 



Distribution. — L. tanakae apparently exists in the Japan Sea and off 

 the northeast coast of Hondo. I have examined specimens of the
