Genyoroge wrdcolor Alleyne and Macleay, is both imperfectly 

 noticed and as crudely figured, though may have been intended for 

 this species : 



Depth and head nearly equal or nearly y^ of total (2% on figure). 

 Eye 4 in head (4% in figure). Preopercle finely serrated, notch 

 small; interopercle ridge bluntly acuminated. Soft dorsal and anal 

 not elevated behind, somewhat rounded. Caudal forked. Pectoral 

 shown long as head. Uniform pale red. 



The imperfectly described nominal Mesoprion ccmdalis Valenci- 

 ennes may have been based on a young example of this species. It is 

 said to have the preopercle gash deep and the caudal with a large 

 violet triangle, enclosing yellowish white. 



Diacope civis Valenciennes ^^ is imperfectly described, and may 

 be closely related or synonymous : 



Upper front snout profile concave. Back elevated. Eye small.

 low. A. Ill, 8. Silvery reddish brown, without any brown spot
