PHILIPPINE MACROUROID FISHES—GILBERT AND HUBBS. 563 
We have tabulated the measurements of this species while com- 
paring it with Lionurus cetonwropsis, its Japanese representative. 
(parvipes, in reference to the reduced ventrals.) 
v 
Genus MATAEOCEPHALUS Berg. 
This genus is not intermediate between Macrourus and Coelo- 
rhynchus as Radcliffe’ has suggested. It is really related to Lion- 
wrus in a Manner analagous to that by which Coelorhynchus is re- 
lated to Coryphaenoides (Macrourus). The similarity between the 
two genera, consisting in the production of the snout and in the 
correlated strengthening of the infraorbital ridge, is due to con- 
vergence rather than to common origin.

This species seems to be distinct from Mataeocephalus microstomus 
(Regan), the only one with which it might be confused.
