24. AINOSUS Jordan and Snyder, new genus. 
.liiiosns JoKDAX and Snydiok, new .trciiuH ((/I'liridiieiiuix). 
This genus is allied to ( //Ht'ti/r/'cht/ii/s^ differing- jn the presenee of 
about 10 l)ar})eLs on either side, in the smaller, tinner, and rougher

pectoral, and in the truncate caudal fin. The isthmus is somewhat 
narrow, as in (J/uMuricht/ii/s, and the tongue is truncate^. 
The known species is small and spotted, ]-eseml)ling CfciKHjohniH^
