2. Callyodon auro-punctatus, Cuv. 
Greenish. The three vertical fins are sprinkled with small aurora-colored spots, which 
unite in oblique and irregular bands. Spots of the same color upon the lower jaw. An 
aurora-colored line passes from the angle of the mouth to the eye, and another extends upon 
the cheek and towards the temple, where there is still another. Scales nearly smooth ; their 
arbuscules have one principal branch, and four or five lateral branches, which are also but 
little ramified.
