  According 
  to 
  Dr. 
  Bean, 
  the 
  types 
  of 
  Spams 
  chrysops 
  and 
  Spams 
  argyrops 
  Lhmanis 
  

   are 
  both 
  the 
  common 
  scup. 
  The 
  large 
  or 
  Southern 
  scup, 
  if 
  really 
  a 
  distinct 
  species 
  

   or 
  variety, 
  should 
  stand 
  as 
  Stenotomus 
  aculeatus 
  Cuv. 
  & 
  Val. 
  

  

  4 
  Diplodus 
  unimaculatus 
  (Bloch). 
  Salema; 
  Bream. 
  

  

  This 
  species 
  has 
  the 
  teeth 
  emarginate, 
  as 
  in 
  D. 
  rhomboides, 
  and 
  it 
  likewise 
  belongs 
  

   to 
  the 
  subgenus 
  Lagodon. 
  It 
  is 
  distinguished 
  from 
  D. 
  rhomboides 
  by 
  its 
  deeper 
  body, 
  

   and 
  by 
  the 
  longer 
  second 
  anal 
  spine, 
  which 
  extends 
  beyond 
  the 
  tip 
  of 
  the 
  third 
  spine 
  

   when 
  depressed. 
  It 
  has, 
  further, 
  13 
  dorsal 
  spines 
  instead 
  of 
  12, 
  and 
  its 
  coloration 
  is 
  

   deeper 
  aud 
  more 
  golden.
