JORDAN AND JORDAN: FISHES OF HAWAII. 17 



105. Gymnothoraxpictus (Ahl). Piihi hipa'a. (J. & E., p. 103.) 

 Common and variable, widelv diffused. 



106. Gymnothorax xanthostomus Snyder. (J. & E., p. 104.) 

 Honolulu, rare. 



EURYMYCTERA Kaup. 



107. Eurymyctera acutirostris (Abbott). (J. & E., p. 105.) 



Not seen since the original discovery; the species has been redescribed and 

 figured by Fowler. 



Echidna Forster. 



108. Echidna zebra (Shaw). (J. & E., p. 106.) 

 Scarce about Hawaii; common in the South vSeas. 



109. Echidna tritor (Vaillant and Sauvage). (J. & E., pp. 106, 107, 108, 109.) 

 (Echidna obscura Jenkins.) 



Abundant and excessively variable in color. 



It is believed that the nominal species E. leihala Jenkins, E. psalion Jenkins, 

 E. zonata Fowler, E. vincta Jenkins, and E. zonopluva Jordan and Evermann are 

 all variants of E. tritor, which is plain in color with a black spot at the angle of 

 the mouth. These are variously marked with dark cross-bands, scarcely any 

 two specimens being colored alike. The alleged differences in dentition need 

 verification. 



110. Echidna nebulosa (Ahl). Puhikdpa. (J. & E., p. 110.) 

 Common and widely distributed. 



Uropterygius Riippell.
