 Anisotremus interruptus , JORDAN & MCGREGOR, Rep. U. S. Fish Comm. for 



1898 (1899), 278 (Clarion and Socorro islands). JORDAN & EVERMANN, 



Fishes North and Mid. Amer., n, 1319, 1898. 



Range. Magdalena Bay to Panama ; Clarion and Socorro islands 

 of the Revillagigedo Archipelago. 



We have compared Revillagigedo specimens with the Galapagos 

 specimens of Anisotremus surinamensis and find that the 2 are cer- 

 tainly different in the respect stated under A. surinamensis. 



86. ANISOTREMUS SCAPULARIS (Tschudi). 



Pristipoma scapulare TSCHUDI, Fauna Peruana, 12, 1844, Huacho. 

 Anisotremus scapularis, JORDAN & EVERMANN, Fishes North and Mid. Amer., 

 n, 1320. 



Range. Mazatlan (?), coast of Peru, Cocos and Galapagos 

 islands. 



We have 27 specimens of this species taken at the Galapagos 

 Islands and one from Cocos Island. The Galapagos specimens are 

 from Tagus Cove, Albemarle; James; Duncan; and Hood. This 

 is the first record of the species from the Galapagos Archipelago. 

 The specimens differ from 2 of Anisotremus scapularis in the 

 Stanford University collection from Callao, Peru, merely in being of 

 a general darker shade of color on the upper half, ajid in having the 

 black of the axis and base of the pectoral not so dark and less definitely 

 outlined. 



Color in life of a typical Galapagos specimen. Above silvery 

 greenish-blue, below white ; fins dark bluish-gray ; a few broad 

 indistinct dusky vertical bands on sides ; preopercles and snout pur- 

 plish ; iris white or silvery. The bands on the sides are not very 

 definite markings and disappear soon after the fish is taken from the 

 water.
