JORDAN AND JORDAN: FISHES OF HAWAII. 53 



Family LXXIX. MALACANTHID^. 



Malacanthus Cuvier. 



311. Malacanthus parvipinnis Vaillant and Sauvage. Makd'a. (J. & E., p. 275.) 

 Common about Honolulu. 



Suborder CIRRHITIFORMES. 

 Family LXXX. CHEILODACTYLID^. 



Goniistius Gill. 

 This genus differs from Cheilodactylus mainly in the number of fin-rays (D. 

 XVII, 27-32; A. Ill, 8: instead of D. XVIII, 23; A. Ill, 11). The outline of 

 the dorsal is much more strongly angulated. 



312. Goniistius vittatus (Garrett). Kikakapu. (J. & E., p. 447.) 



Two fine specimens of this very rare species were found by us in the Honolulu 

 market. The name vittatus is ill-suited to the broad, oblique, black cross-bands, 

 which are characteristic of this species. 



Family LXXXI. CIRRHITID^. 



CiRRHiTOiDEA Jenkins. 



313. Cirrhitoidea bimacula Jenkins. (J. & E., p. 448.) 

 Rare. 



Paracirrhites Bleeker. 



314. Paracirrhites cinctus CGiinther). Pilikffa; POopcCa; Oopiika-hai-hai. (J. & 

 E., p. 449.) 



Very common. 



315. Paracirrhites forsteri (Bloch and Schneider). Hilupilikoa. (J. &E.,p. 450.) 

 Abundant. 



316. Paracirrhites arcatus (Cuvier and Valenciennes) . Piliko'a. (J. & E., p. 450.) 

 Very abundant. We have no explanation of the two patterns of coloration; 



about half of the specimens having a broad, well-defined white stripe along the 

 back posteriorly, while in others, similarly colored, this is absent. 



CiRRHiTUS Lacepede. 



317. Cirrhitus marmoratus (Lacepede). Pu'opda; Oopukdi. (J. & E., p. 452.) 

 Abundant; large enough to acquire importance as a food-fish.
