D. IX, 11; A. II, 11; scales in lateral line 26; in tranverse series 
2+9. The height of the body is one-fourth the total length; the 
length of the head two-sevenths; caudal rounded; ventral rather short. 
Greenish, lower parts of the sides with several yellow, longitudinal 
lines and with some black dots; a brownish band from the mouth 
below the eye to the operculum; a black dot at the base of the penul- 
timate dorsal ray; sometimes a small black spot on the base of the 
caudal fin, (Giinther.) 
There are no doul^t three anal spines in this species, as in StethojuUs 
albovittata of the Hawaiian Islands, and in other species of the genus, 
the first spine being so small as to easily escape observation. 
This species, common in the Indian region, is placed in the present 
list because a specimen from the Riukiu Islands is in the Imperial 
Museum of Tokyo.

Body rather elongate; compressed; caudal peduncle narrow, dorsal

peduncle, there being no sudden descent at base of caudal fin. Head 
long, the snout pointed; jaws equal; interorbital space convex; eye 
small, nearer snout than edge of opercle, a distance equal to diameter 
of pupil. Lips thin, pendent, those of the lower jaw divided by a 
narrow median ridge. Teeth blunt, closely apposed, in a single series 
in each jaw, the anterior ones not enlarged nor canine-like; a strong- 
canine projecting forward on each side of posterior part of upper jaw.
