TABLE 1 (cont'd) 



Family APOGONIDAE (cont'd) 

 Apogon exostigma (Jordan and Starks, 1906): Lachner, 1953. 



Apogon fraenatus Lachner, 1953. Randall (1955a) reidentified Lachner's Marshall Islands specimens as A. exostigma. 

 Apogon fraenatus Valenciennes is a valid species but apparently does not occur in the Marshall Islands. 

 Apogon fuscus Quoy and Gaimard, 1824. 



Apogon sauayensis Lachner, 1953. Apogon souayensis GUnther is a junior synonym of A. fuscus. 

 Apogon guamensis Valenciennes, 1832. 



Apogon nubilus Lachner, 1953. Thomas H. Fraser (personal communication) informed us that A. guamensis is an 

 earlier name for this species than A. nubilus Garman. 

 Apogon kalhpterus Bleeker, 1856. 



Apogon snyderi Jordan and Evermann, 1904. 

 Apogon leptacantbus Bleeker, 1856: Strasburg, 1966. 



Apogon graeffii GUnther, 1873. 

 Apogon nigrofasciatus Lachner, 1953. 

 Apogon novemfasciatus Cuvier, 1828: Lachner, 1953. 

 Apogon taeniophorus Regan, 1908. 



Apogon robustus Lachner, 1953. Randall and Lachner (1986) reidentified Marshall Islands specimens as A. taeniophorus. 

 Apogon taeniopterus Bennett, 1835. 



Apogon menesemops Lachner, 1953. The authors agree with Smith (1961) in considering this species a synonym of 

 A. taeniopterus. 

 Apogon trin^aculatus Cuvier 1828: Lachner, 1953. 

 Apogonichthys ocellatus (Weber, 1913). 



Apogon ocellatus Lachner, 1953. 

 Archawia fucata (Cantor, 1850): Lachner, 1953. 

 Cheilodipterus isostigma (Schultz, 1940). 



Cheilodipterops isostigma Lachner, 1953. Randall (1955a) and Fraser (1972) placed the genera Cheilodipterops and 

 Paramia in the synonymy of Cheilodipterus. 

 Cheilodipterus macrodon Lacepede, 1802: Lachner, 1953. 

 Cheilodipterus quinquelineatus Cuvier, 1828. 



Paramia quinquelineata Lachner, 1953. 

 Chei/odipterus truncatus Giinther, 1873: Lachner, 1953. 

 Foa sp. Two specimens (BPBM 28761, 28 to 29 mm) from a Halimeda bed in 19 to 27 m in the Kwajalein Lagoon may 



represent an undescribed species. 

 Fowleria isostigma (Jordan and Seale, 1906). 



Apogon isostigma Lachner, 1953. 

 Fowleria marmorata (Alleyne and Macleay, 1876). 



Apogon marmoratus Lachner, 1953. Fraser (1972) wrote that the nominail species of Fowleria should be rcstudied 

 because of the contrasting treatments by Lachner (1953) and Smith (1961). 

 Gvmnapogon gracilicauda Lachner, 1953. 

 Gvmnapogon urospilotus Lachner, 1953. 

 Rhabdamia cypse/urus Weber, 1909: Fraser, 1972. 



Apogon cypse/urus Lachner, 1953. 

 Rhabdamia gracilis (Bleeker, 1856): Fraser, 1972. 



Apogon gracilis, Lachner, 1953. 

 Siphamia fuscolineata Lachner, 1953. 

 Family MALACANTHIDAE 



Hoplolatilus cuniculus Randall and Dooley, 1974: Randall, 1986. 

 Hoplolatilus starcki Randall and Dooley, 1974. 

 Malacanthus breuirostris Guichenot, 1858: Randall, 1986. 

 Malacanthus latouittatus (Lacepede, 1801): Randall, 1986. 

 Family ECHENEIDIDAE 



Echeneis naucrates Linnaeus, 1758: Lachner, 1966. 

 Remora australis (Bennett, 1840). 



Echeneis scutata Giinther, 1876. Lachner (1966) treated this species as a synonym ot R. australis. Giinther's locality, 

 "Maduro," should be confirmed. 

 Remora remora (Linnaeus, 1758): Lachner, 1966. 

 Family CARANGIDAE 



Alectis ciliaris (Bloch, 1787): Randall, 1986. 



Atule mate (Cuvier, 1833): Randall, 1986. 



Selaroides leptolepis Strasburg, 1953.
