Mugil hospes Jordan & Culver 



This little mullet is known only from the Pacific Coast of 

 Mexico. It is not uncommon about Mazatlan. 



Red-eye Mullet; Liza Ojo de Perdriz 



Mugil gaimardianus Desmarest 



This species is found from Florida Keys to Cuba, but is 

 not at all common. It reaches a length of about a foot. 



Mugil setosus is known only from the Revillagigedo Islands 

 and Mazatlan, it being very abundant about Clarion Island. It 

 closely resembles M. hospes, from which it differs widely, how- 

 ever, in its much larger multiserial setas, and the longer, nar- 

 rower mouth. It is of no commercial value except locally.
