art.2. FORMOSA AND PHILIPPINES FISHES—FOWLER AND BEAN. 43 
Compared with the types in the Academy and found in agreement. 
The types, owing to preservation, do not now show any traces of 
dark caudal bars, and we think it quite likely they were obliterated 
by the strong preserving fluid. There is also variation in the dark 
bands on the dorsals, some of which are the exact pattern of the 
Zamboanga specimen. 
UPENEOIDES BENSASI (Schlegel). 
Head, 32; depth, 42 to 42; D. VII, once V—I, 8, 1; A. I, 6, 1; 
scales, 28 or 29 in lateral line to aggre base ane 2 or 3 more on 
latter; 2 scales above lateral line to soft dorsal origin, 2 above to 
spinous dorsal origin, 7 below to spinous anal origin; 6 predorsal 
scales; snout, 24 to 23 in head; eye, 34 to 34; maxillary, 22; inter- 
rasan 34 to 53. Gill-rakers, m1, 5+-12, rv, lanceolate, about as long 
as salle HERR or 2 in eye. eeales ae 4 to 6 basal radiating 
striae, apical denticles 70 to 75 and circuli very fine. Color in alcohol 
brown, paler to whitish below. All specimens show muzzle and 
edges of preopercle more or less blotched with reddish-brown. Iris 
silvery-white. Dorsals marked much as in J. belaque, each with 
three horizontal dark bands. Each caudal lobe with four oblique 
dark bands, terminal jet black. Length, 68 to 102 mm. Twenty- 
one examples from Takao. 
UPENEOIDES TRAGULA (Richardson). 
Head, 34 to 32; depth, 4 to 44; D. VITI—I, 7,1; A. I, 6,1; scales, 
30 in lateral line to caudal base and 2 more on latter; 3 scales above 
lateral line to soft dorsal origin, 6 below to spinous anal origin; 4 
predorsal scales; Buon, 2 to 23 in head; eye, 44 to 43; maxillary, 
24 to 24; “avenani tetas 4 to 32. Gill- ables 1 or iv, 1 to 8411 or 
12,41 OF NI, eae 1 to 12 in gill-filaments, ssh 14 to 1f 
in eye. Scales with 5 or 6 basal radiating striae, apical denticles 
138 to 153 and circuli very fine. Color in alcohol with back dull 
brown, sides and below whitish, everywhere more or less variably 
speckled with darker spots. Dark brown band from snout tip 
through eye and back along side to middle of upper caudal lobe 
basally. Spinous dorsal dusky apically, with six dark transverse 
bands, upper black. Soft dorsal] similar, only with less black and 
most transverse bands paler. Caudal barred like dorsal, upper lobe 
with five and lower with seven transverse black bands. Other fins 
much paler, also cross bars, of which six on pectoral and five on 
ventral and anal. Length, 128 to 233 mm. One from Cebu and 
Zamboanga, respectively. 
The Cebu specimen, although in poor preservation, agrees better 
with Day’s figure. It has the outer caudal and soft dorsal bars 
similarly broader.
