CAREPROCTUS JORDANI, new name 



Careprodus gilberti Jordan and Thompson, 1914, p. 282, pi. 34, fig. 1 and la. 



This species was described as Careprodus gilberti by Jordan and 

 Thompson in 1914. Unfortunately the present writer (1912a) had 

 used the same specific name for another species of Careprodus. We 

 therefore submit the name jordani for this species and repeat Jordan 

 and Thompson's original description: 



Description from the tj'pe. No. 6456, a specimen much shrunken by strong 

 alcohol, from Misaki, Sagami Bay, Japan, 16 cm. in total length. The measure- 

 ments are given in hundredths of body length to correspond with the compre- 

 hensive paper recently published by Gilbert and Burke on the Japanese Cyclo- 

 gasteridae. 



Head .25; width of same .17; centerocular width .10; width at angle of mouth 

 .12; length of snout .09; eye .06; maxillary .12; width of gill slit .06; depth of 

 body .19; distance from snout to disk .19; from snout to anus .34; snout to 

 anal fin .42; snout to dorsal insertion .28; transverse diameter of disk .08; 

 distance disk to anus 7; longest ray in upper pectoral lobe 17, in lower lobe 12; 

 D. 45; A. 38; P. 32. 



Body elongate, compressed; head deeper than wide; dorsal profile most 

 strongly curved on snout; jaws subequal; maxillary extending to below anterior 

 border of pupil; eyes high, reaching dorsal profile as in Careprodus curilanus; 

 nostril at level of upper edge of pupil; teeth coarse, in bands in both jaws, simple, 

 not triolbed, depressible. Gill opening extending to second pectoral ray. Pectoral 

 not deeply notched, rays of lower lobe slightly produced as filaments. Anterior 

 dorsal rays half length of posterior rays; latter .10 of body length; former with 

 tips slightly produced; first anal ray .07, last .10; dorsal and anal adnate to 

 caudal by one-fourth its length; last ray in each slightly shorter than preceding 

 ray. Disk beginning under, or slightly behind, posterior margin of eye and reach- 

 ing to below point of opercle, separated by its own transverse diameter from anus, 

 which resembles that of Careprodus pycnosoma in position.
