COPEIA 3 



had the opportunity to study it through the kindness 

 of Dr. W. P. Wilson, Director of the Museums, the 

 list of species given below was ascertained: 



Urotrygon mundus Gill, Sciaedichthys troscheli 

 (Gill), 



Gymnothorax punctarenae, sp. nov. : Head, 6V2; 

 depth, 11; snout, 5 X A in head; eye, 7; mouth cleft, 

 2 1 /6; interorbital, 4-4/5. Eyelids joined to skin of 

 head. Teeth all uniserial, large compressed, lower 

 front five enlarged and firm, and six large front up- 

 per ones with three depressible inwards. Hind edge 

 of each tooth on its basal half, finely serrated. Lips 

 fleshy. Front nostrils in short tubes, hind ones each 

 as simple pore close over edge of each eye above. Body 

 reticulated with brownish, leaving pale irregular 

 blotches which become much larger and less defined 

 on tail, until at tail end they form several large irreg- 

 ular vermiculations of brownish. Dorsal fin with 

 basal half like color of back, border with dark brown 

 broken marginal blotches. Anal largely dark brown, 

 at least over greater marginal portion. Upper sur- 

 face of head finely spotted or dotted with paler. 

 Lower surface of head and belly pale, with faint and 

 darker reticulations. Iris olive. Slight brownish 

 blotch above gill-opening, though latter not surround- 

 ed by brown. Length 20-5/8 inches, from snout tip 

 to vent lO 1 /! inches. Only one example. This species 

 falls within the subgenus Priodonophis Kaup, on ac- 

 count of its serrate teeth. It differs, however, from 

 the common Atlantic G. ocellatus in coloration.
