Fic. 39.—LIONURUS EVIDES. TYPE. 
This pretty little species is a close representative of Lionurus 
condylura, a Japanese species,! from which it differs in the blacker 
spot on the first dorsal fin, in the longer outer ventral ray, in the 
fewer denticulations on the dorsal spine, and in the larger scales

Fin-rays—first dorsal, II, 9 (11 to 13); pectoral 21 (20 to 22);
