34 ATHERINID^: SILVERSIDES 



33. Hepsetia afra (Peters), 1855. 



Atherina afra Peters, Archiv. Naturg., 1, 244, 1855; Giinther, Catalogue Fishes 

 Brit. Mus., 3, 398, 1861 (after Peters). 

 Type-locality. — Coast of Mozambique. 

 Range. — Shores of eastern Africa. 



34. Hepsetia regina (Scale), 1909. 



Atherina regina Seale, Phila. Jotirn. Sci. (A), 4, 496, pi. 3, fig. 1, 1909. 



Type-locality. — Culion Island, Philippine Islands. 

 Range. — Philippine Islands (recorded from Culion and Busuanga). 



35. Hepsetia balabacensis (Seale), 1909.-^*- 



Atherina forskalii Evermann and Seale. Bull. U. S. Bur. Fish., 26, 59, 1906 



(1909) (not of Riippell). 

 Atherina (?) lacunosa Jordan and Richardson, Bull. U. S. Bur. Fish., 27, 243, 



1907 (not of Forster). 

 Atherina balabacensis Seale, Phila. Journ. Sci. (A) 4, 498, pi. 3. fig. 2, 1909. 



Type-locality. — Near mouth of small stream, Balabac Island, Philippine Islands. 

 Range. — Philippine Islands. 



We have re-examined the material recorded as A. forskalii by 

 Evermann and Seale and that doubtfully named A. lacunosa by Jordan 

 and Richardson, and find both lots referable to H. balabacensis. This 

 species is perhaps indistinguishable from the next. 



36. Hepsetia lineata (Giinther), 1872. 



Atherina lineata Giinther, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., 10, 398, 1872.

This species perhaps belongs in Atherina.
