JORDAN AND RICHARDSON : FISHES OF THE ISLAND OF FORMOSA 189 



Family SPARID.K. 



185. Lethrinus amboinensis Bleeker. 

 (Native name Leng tsian.) 



Six specimens, three to six inches long, from Takao. 



Depth 2.6 ; head 2.8 ; snout 1^ times eye ; teeth conical. The cross-bars on 

 body show plainly in the specimens, and the ventrals are barred, not plain, or with 

 diffuse dusky, as in many species of Lethrinus. The specimens from the Lung col- 

 lection recorded by Jordan & Seale as Lethrinus amboinensis have the ventrals plain, 

 and are probably a different species. 



186. Lethrinus leutjanus (Bloch). 

 Giran (Jordan & Evermann). 



187. Lethrinus richardsoni Giinther. 

 Formosa (Jordan & Evermann). 



188. Lethrinus insulindicus Bleeker. 



We provisionally refer a specimen eleven inches long from Takao to this 

 species. The depth is 2.6; nose 2h times eye. There are traces of dark cross-bars 

 on the upper portion of the sides and a suggestion of a dusky blotch under the 

 lateral line forward ; ventrals plain. A color note by Mr. Sauter states that in life 

 the " general color was light greenish-brown, whitish beneath; iris yellow; oper- 

 cular flap and base of pectoral crimson ; caudal dusky, suffused with red ; hind part 

 of dorsal red ; membranes of anal reddish at border." This description agrees well 

 with the coloring in Bleeker's plate.

 (Native name Gei la Mi.) 



One specimen, eleven inches long, from Takao. 

 Formosa (Jordan & Evermann).
