 verse bands, the second covering nearly the posterior half of the 

 body. Pectorals orange. Spinous dorsal orange, the soft dorsal

 identical with P. cyanogenys which is the adnlt form of 

 P. fetricml It was not known to Johnston when he included it 

 in' his catalogue of the Fishes of Tasmania.
