  is 
  a

  This 
  genus 
  differs 
  from 
  Platyglossus 
  in 
  the 
  possession 
  of 
  but 
  eight 
  spines 
  in 
  the 
  dor- 
  

   sal, 
  and 
  in 
  having 
  no 
  posterior 
  canino 
  tooth. 
  The 
  numerous 
  species 
  are 
  gaily 
  colored, 
  

   like 
  those 
  of 
  Platyglossus. 
  They 
  are 
  found 
  chiefly 
  in 
  the 
  Western 
  Pacific.
