D. XII, 11, first spine 514 in total head length, fifth spine 234, 
second ray 214; A. III, 5, third spine 3%, third ray 21%; caudal 
124, convexly rounded behind; least depth of caudal peduncle 3%; 
pectoral 114, all 15 rays simple; ventral rays I, 5, fin 134 in total head 
length, spine 344. 
Color in alcohol brown, variegated with darker on head and body. 
Three rather conspicuous, irregular, blackish-brown blotches along 
lateral line. On lower surface of head, inclusive of maxillary and 
mandible five dark transverse bands, all much narrower than inter- 
spaces. Dark band across interorbital and reflected down below eye on 
suborbital. Another narrower one connects postero-supraorbital 
spines. Fins all largely pale. Spinous dorsal with median longitu- 
dinal dark band. Soft dorsal with broad submarginal dark band. Anal 
with two broad dark inclined bands, also several small dark spots on 
spinous fin. Caudal with broad dark transverse band on outer half of 
fin. Paired fins with dark transverse narrow or waved bands and small 
inclined dark blotch on pectoral base. 
Belongs in the subgenus Osorioia Fowler * but differs from its geno- 
type Scorpaena hemilepidota Fowler in its greatly larger eye, longer 
maxillary reaching opposite the hind eye edge, moderate scales, naked 
predorsal, more dorsal spines and rays, variegated coloration, and a 
large black blotch on first dorsal.

Paratype.—U.S.N.M. No. 99523. Cammahana Bay, Luzon Island. 
Taken in beach seine. March 11,1909. Length 25 mm. 
(rawia, ribbon-+odpis, eyebrow, with reference to the large sus 
praorbital flaps.) 
Subfamily MINOINAE 
PARAMINOUS, new genus 
Type.—Paraminous quincarinatus, new species. 
Greatly like Minous Cuvier superficially, though without the long 
preopercular spine, much smaller and different preorbital spine, dif- 
ferent sculpturing on the head, more numerous cutaneous flaps as 
those on supraorbital and mandible, shorter body, longer pectoral and 
different coloration. 
Minous inermis Alcock * apparently belongs in this genus as Para- 
minous inermis (Alcock), showing a similar armature, a greatly longer 
pectoral and a much longer detached pectoral ray, details doubtless 
of specific value.
