an indistinct dark blotch on each side of front of dorsal fin, extending a very little on the base of the fin;

no. 20213, Stanford University; cotypes are no. 61685, U. S. National Museum. One of the specimens 
was taken at Camp Balete, Rio Baco, Mindoro. The exact locality for the others is not recorded, the

Fig. 5.—Barbodes hemictenus, new species. Type. 
This species is near Barbodes maculatus Cuvier & Valenciennes (?=B. binotatus C. & V.), but seems 
to differ in its slenderer third dorsal spine, with weaker and fewer serratures, and*in coloration. Speci- 
mens from Sumatra identified as Barbodes maculatus by Mr. Fowler agree with Bleeker’s figure of the 
species in having the third dorsal spine strongly serrate to its base, in having the dorsal and caudal blotch 
indistinct, and in lacking a lateral body stripe. Mr. Fowler’s specimens have the dorsal and anal dis- 
tinctly tipped with dusky, which is lacking in our specimens and in Bleeker’s figure of Barbodes maculatus.
