PLEURONECTID^. 



RHOMBOIDICHTHYS LEOFARDINtJS, Gthr. [No. 19218]. 

 Rhomhoidichthys leopardinus, Gunther, Cat. Fish., iv, 1862, 43. 



The posterior half of the lower eye falls vertically below the upper ; 

 the interorbital space concave, its width equaling the longitudinal diam- 

 eter of the eye, and scaly only on its posterior half; anterior half naked. 



I Brownish spots, and blue-edged ocelli scattered over the body and fins. 



' Locality : Fanning Group. 



This species is very closely allied to R. pantJierinus, but it may readily 



i| be distinguished by the naked anterior-half of the interocular space, 

 and by the scattered ocelli. Gunther records it without a habitat, and 

 this is the first instance, to our knowledge, where a locality has been 



! assigned to it.
