  1 
  Inop8etta 
  Jordan 
  & 
  Goss, 
  subgenus 
  nova, 
  type 
  Parophrys 
  ischyrus 
  Jordan 
  & 
  Gilbert. 
  

   (It, 
  sinew; 
  ipifrra, 
  flounder.) 
  This 
  fish 
  is 
  allied 
  to 
  Pleuronectes 
  stellatus, 
  but 
  has 
  an 
  

   accessory 
  dorsal 
  branch 
  to 
  the 
  lateral 
  line 
  as 
  in 
  Isopsetta 
  isolepis, 
  from 
  which 
  it 
  diners 
  

   in 
  form, 
  and 
  in 
  the 
  rough, 
  loosely 
  imbricated 
  scales. 
  

  

  2 
  The 
  genus 
  Pleuronectes 
  as 
  retained 
  in 
  the 
  Synopsis, 
  is 
  unnatural, 
  species 
  very 
  

   diverse 
  in 
  their 
  characters 
  being 
  retained 
  in 
  it. 
  I 
  have, 
  therefore, 
  here 
  recognized 
  

   its 
  chief 
  constituents 
  as 
  distinct 
  genera. 
  Parophrys, 
  Isopsetta, 
  Lepidopsetta, 
  and 
  

   Limanda 
  seem 
  certainly 
  worthy 
  of 
  such 
  recognition. 
  Possibly 
  Platichthys, 
  lnopsetta 
  

   and 
  Pseudopleuronectes, 
  also, 
  are 
  worthy 
  of 
  such 
  retention.

  Delothyris 
  Goode. 
  

   (Goode, 
  Proc. 
  U. 
  S. 
  Nat. 
  Mus. 
  1883, 
  110 
  ; 
  type 
  Thyris 
  pellucidus 
  Goode 
  ; 
  name 
  a 
  

   substitute 
  for 
  Thyris, 
  preoccupied 
  ; 
  SfjXoS, 
  clear; 
  Ovpii, 
  window.) 
  We 
  have 
  no 
  doubt 
  

   that 
  this 
  is 
  a 
  larval 
  form, 
  possibly 
  of 
  some 
  fish 
  as 
  yet 
  unknown, 
  allied 
  to 
  Citharichthys. 
  

   Small 
  transparent 
  flounders 
  having 
  all 
  the 
  characters 
  of 
  Delothyris, 
  but 
  less 
  elongate 
  

   than 
  D. 
  pellucidus, 
  have 
  been 
  taken 
  by 
  the 
  writer 
  at 
  Key 
  West. 
  These 
  are 
  thought 
  

   to 
  be 
  larva} 
  of 
  some 
  Platophrys 
  or 
  Citharichthys.
