  This 
  species 
  should 
  stand 
  as 
  above, 
  instead 
  of 
  Eoccus 
  lineatus. 
  The 
  original 
  Sciana 
  

   lineata 
  of 
  Bloch 
  was 
  probably 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  European 
  species. 
  To 
  the 
  synonymy 
  add 
  

   Perca 
  saxatilis 
  and 
  Perca 
  septentrionalis 
  Bloch 
  & 
  Schneider, 
  Syst. 
  Nat.,

   Perca 
  saxatilis 
  is
