GENUS V. LUCIO-PERCA, Cuv. 

 So named because, to the characters of the Perch, they join teeth which 

 have some relation to those of the Pike. The edge of their preoperculum 

 has merely a simple indentation ; their dorsal fins are separated ; some of 

 their jaw and palatine teeth are long and pointed.
