JORDAN AND JORDAN: FISHES OF HAWAII. 47 



From deep water, off the southwestern coast of Hawaii. The type killed by 

 a lava-flow from Mauna Loa. 



Grammatonotus Gilbert. 



279. Grammatonotus laysanus Gilbert. (G., p. 619.) 

 Deep water, off Ijaysan. 



Family LXXI. PRIAGANTHID.E (Catalufas). 

 Priacanthus Cuvier. 



280. Priacanthus alalaua Jordan and Evermann. Alalaua. (J. & E., p. 228.) 

 Rather scarce. 



281. Priacanthus cruentatus (Lacepede). Aweoweo. (J. & E., p. 229.) 



Very abundant. The Pacific form, Priacanthus carolinus Lesson, needs 

 further comparison with the West Indian P. cruentatus with which we have hitherto 

 identified it. 



282. Priacanthus meeki Jordan and Evermann. Ulakmau. (J. & E., p. 231.) 

 Abundant. A food-fish of some importance. Near Priacanthus hamruhr 



Forskal of the Red Sea. 



Family LXXII. EMMELICHTHYID.E. 



Erythrocles Jordan. 



{ Eryihrichthys Temminck and Schlegel, name preoccupied.) 



283. Erythrocles scintillans Jordan and Thompson. (Proc. U. S. N. M., XLI, 

 1912, p. 599.) (J. & E., p. 245.) 



Rather scarce. This beautiful fish differs somewhat from its Japanese con- 

 gener, Erythrocles schlegeli. The genus Erythrocles is close to Emmelichthys Richard- 

 son, but probably distinct. Boaxodmi cyanescens from Chile, having a broad scaly 

 maxillary, is closely related, but Inermia vittata from the West Indies and Diptery- 

 gonotus leucogrammicus from the East Indies cannot be placed in the same family, 

 having the maxillary narrow and naked. 



Family LXXIII. HISTIOPTERID.E. 



HiSTiOPTERUS Temminck and Schlegel. 



284. Histiopterus typus Bleeker. 



A cast of a fine specimen of this large fish, otherwise only known from Japan, 

 is in the Bishop Museum.
