454 FISHES FROM GALAPAGOS AND PANAMA GILBERT. 



29. Citharichthys gilberti Jeukins and Evermanu. 



One specimen, Station 2812. This species represents the Citharich- 

 thys spilopterus of the Atlantic, but differs from it in having fewer gill- 

 rakers and larger eyes. The true spilopterus seems not to have been 

 taken in the Pacific, and all references to it should be ranged in the syn- 

 onymy of gilberti. Citharichthys sumichrasti Jordan, identical with 

 gilberti. 



30. Citharichthys platophrys sp. nov. 



One specimen from Station 2799.

 diameter 3f in head. Interorbital space very wide for a Citharichthys, 

 concave, divided by an oblique ridge running backwards from middle 

 of upper orbit. Interorbital width 8f in head, nearly half as wide as 

 eye. Distance from tip of snout to front of lower eye two-thirds 

 diameter of eye, from tip of snout to upper eye one-third head.
