This genus is close to Chirostoma, from which it differs in the large en- 

 tire scales. To it belong the 2 following species : 



1156. ESLOPSARUM BARTONI (Jordan & Evermanii). 



1157. ESLOPSARUM JORDA3VI (Woolinan). 



To the synonymy of this species should be added

 149, Lake Cuitzeo, Mexico. (Coll. Prinzessin Therese von Bayern.)
