Suborder SQ UAMIPENNES. 



Family LXXXVIII. CAPROID.E. 



AntiCtOnia Lowe. 



3")0. Antigonia steindachneri Jordan and Evermann. (J. & E., p. 361 ; G., p. 621.) 



A Japanese fish, rarely seen about Hawaii in deep water. 



351. Antigonia eos Gilbert. (G., p. 621.) 

 Deep sea; Pailolo Channel. 



Family LXXXIX. CH.ETODONTID.E (Butterfly-fishes). 

 FoRciPiGER Jordan and McGregor. 



352. Forcipiger longirostris (Broussonet). (J. & E., p. 363.) 

 Forcipiger flavissimus Jordan and McGregor. 



Rather common in the markets. In the plate published by Jordan and 

 Evermann the brilliant yellow of this curious fish is not well represented. 



Ch^todon Linnaeus. Kihi kihi. 

 ( Tetragonoptrus Bleeker.) 

 This genus covers a great variety of species agreeing in general form and in 

 bright coloration, mainly yellow with black cross-bands or markings. It may 

 perhaps be divisible into several genera, the division being based on the direction 

 of the lines of scales, the size of the scales, and the form of the head. At present 

 the subgenera, as proposed b>' Kaup and by Bleeker, are too ill-defined to permit 

 of their recognition as genera. In the typical section of Chaiodon (type Chaiodon 

 capistratus Linnaeus), which is not represented in Hawaii, the lines of scales above 

 the lateral line extend upward and l^ackward, those below downward and back- 

 ward, and none of the dorsal rays are prolonged. 



§ LiNOPHORA Kaup. 



(One of the dorsal rays prolonged, whip-like, otherwise 

 essentially as in Chaiodon jjroper.) 



353. Chaetodon setifer Bloch. Kihi-kihi; Kikakdpu. (J. & E., p. 364.) 

 Conunon in Hawaii.

 (Scales of sides enlarged; snout sharp; a projection before eye.) 



354. Chaetodon lineolatus Guvier and Valenciennes. (J. & E., p. 365.)
