  The 
  genus 
  Lolotes 
  should 
  be 
  removed 
  from 
  the 
  family 
  of 
  Sparidce 
  and 
  placed 
  in 
  or 
  

   near 
  the 
  Serranidce, 
  with 
  which 
  it 
  agrees 
  in 
  many 
  respects, 
  differing 
  in 
  the 
  absence 
  

   of 
  teeth 
  on 
  the 
  vomer. 
  It 
  may 
  stand 
  as 
  a 
  separate 
  family 
  Lobotid-ZE, 
  which 
  has 
  

   been 
  defined 
  by

  This
