teeth. It is one of the most beautiful pomacentrids seen among 

 the coral reefs, which are its favorite haunts. With the excep- 

 tion of the milk-white vertical streak, the specimens referred 

 to resemble Bleeker's figure. 



There is no previous record of this species from the Philip- 

 pines. Hitherto known only from the Celebes Sea.

Dorsal XIII, 11 to 13; anal II, 11 to 13; scales in lateral 

 series 25; with tubules 16; between lateral line and origin of 

 dorsal 3 ; between lateral line and origin of anal 10. 



Body ovate, slightly elongate, with dorsal and ventral profiles 

 similarly and evenly curved; depth 2.8 to 2.9 in length; head 

 3.1 to 3.2; depth of caudal peduncle 6 to 6.5. Interorbital 

 space slightly convex, 3.4 to 4.2 in head ; eye large and round, 

 diameter 2.8 to 2,9, longer than snout which is 3.4 to 5 in head, 

 or maxillary which is contained 2.8 to 4.5 in head. 'Mouth 

 very small, almost horizontal, with the jaws equal; tip of snout 

 nearly on a level with lower edge of pupil; maxillary extending 

 posteriorly past below front margin of orbit; teeth very narrow, 

 in a double series. Greatest width of preorbital about a third 

 of eye diameter; opercle with two flat spines behind. 



No scales on snout, orbitals, or limbs of preopercle. Middle 

 and posterior dorsal spines nearly the same height. Soft vertical 

 fins angular, produced along the median; caudal subtruncated, 

 with rounded lobes ; pectoral terminating above vent ; outer ray 

 of ventral produced into a filament, which extends to origin of 

 anal fin. 



Color of alcoholic specimens bluish, with one or two yellow 

 spots on each scale; a dark band along middle of nape and of 

 forehead; a wide one convergent at snout, passing through eye, 

 to origin of lateral line ; a third one across preorbital and upper 

 jaw. A small round black spot occupies base of last three dorsal 

 rays and the axil of the fin. Pectoral light violet, the outer 

 portion of the other fins yellowish.
