I propose the new name Ilemerocoetes waitei for the species described and figured 

 by Waite (Rec. Canterbury Mus. i. 1911, p. 245, pi. uv. f. 1) as Hemeroeoetes 

 acanthorhynchw. The dorsal has 42 rays and the anal 40, and these tins originate

 other characters. 



The true //. acantliorhynclms, Forster, is the species described and figured by 

 Waite (t.c, p. 247, pi. uv, f. 2) as //. microps. Tl riginal description, that the
