JORDAN AND JORDAN: FISHES OF HAWAII. 73 



Cheilinoides Bleeker. 

 This genus is very close to Ciirhilabrus Temminck and Schlegel from Japan, 

 differing in the short ventrals, these fins being greatly produced in Cirrhilabrus. 



438. Cheilinoides jordani Snyder. (J. & E., p. 315.) 

 Only the type known. 



Pseudocheilinus Bleeker. 

 In this genus the eye is peculiarly modified, the cornea being crossed by a line 

 of partition. 



439. Pseudocheilinus octotaenia Jenkins. Alcilii lakea. (J. & E., p. 317.) 

 Occasional about the reefs. 



440. Pseudocheilinus evanidus Jordan and Evermann. fj. & E., p. 317.) 

 Rare, taken but twice. 



Cheilinus Lacepede. 



441. Cheilinus hexagonatus Giinther. Poo^i. (J. & E., p. 319.) 

 Cheilinus zonurus Jenkins. 



Very common. Originally described from an inaccurate drawing made at 

 Honolulu. 



442. Cheilinus bimaculatus Cuvier and Valenciennes. (J. & E., p. 320.) (PL 

 III, fig. 3; C. M. Catalog of Fishes, No. 3906.) 



A small fish, common on the reefs, known by the black spot on the side. The 

 exquisite markings seen in life disappear in spirits. 



443. Cheilinus trilobatus Lacepede. (J. & E., p. 322.) 



Recorded from Honolulu by Quoy and Gaimard as Cheilinus sinuosus, which 

 is apparently the female of this connnon species of the South Seas. 



Novaculichthys Bleeker. 



444. Novaculichthys woodi Jenkins. (J. & E., p. 323.) 

 Novaculichthys entargyrcns Jenkins. 

 Novaculichthys tattoo Seale. 



Rather common. 



445. Novaculichthys tseniourus (Lacepede). (J. & E., p. 325.) 



Rather common. A showy fish of the reefs. The j'oung, with the first two 

 dorsal rays lengthened, was described from Honolulu by Quoy and Gaimard as 

 Julis bifer. 



446. Novaculichthys kallosoma (Bleeker). 



This beautiful little fish, mostly grass-green in color, is widely distributed.
