identified with Gaesio erythrogaster Cuvier by Bleeker. The nom- 

 inal Caesio erythrochilwms is synonymous. Specimens represent- 

 ing it are without any dark markings on the fins, except the whole 

 upper border of both dorsals dusky. The lower preorbital rim is 

 very narrow and has the maxillary approaching very close to the 

 eye. Preservation seems to account for the presence of the dark 

 streaks on the cheek. Sometimes a brilliant azure green shade or 

 spot may be present at the bases of some of the scales of the back.
