Guapilis (13) 45 to 100 mm.; Chitaria (12), 47 to 92 mm. (Alfaro); 
Rio Higuerén (6), 32 to 136 mm. (Alfaro). 
Cichlasoma maculicauda Regan. 
Cichlasoma maculicauda Regan, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist., 1905. 
227 (Lake Yzabal, Rio Motagua, Guatemala; Rio Chagres). 
I did not obtain this species in Costa Rica. The fact that it has 
been found in Guatemala and Panama, and that it is a resident of low- 
land streams, being occasionally taken in brackish water, it may be 
expected to occur in some of the lowland streams of Costa Rica. It is 
one of the best marked of the cichlids, being easily distinguished by the 
large round black blotch on the caudal peduncle and base of caudal fin. 
Cichlasoma underwoodi (Regan). 
Herichthys underwoodi Regan, Biol. Cent. Amer., 1906, 30, pl. 11,

Cichlasoma frontale Meek, Pub. Field Mus., Zoél. Ser., vu, 1900, 
210 (Turrubales, Costa Rica). 
In the Turrubales River this species was found to be very abundant.

Rio Grande, Orotina (16), 30 to 70 mm.; Turrubales (65), 45 to 
225 mm.; Turrubales (5), 128 to 150 mm. (Alfaro). 
Cichlasoma punctatum Meek. 
Cichlasoma punctatum Meek, Pub. Field Mus., Zodl. Ser., vi, 1907, 
210 (Buenos Aires, Costa Rica). 
This species is near the preceding, but differs in color and markings 
and in fewer soft rays on dorsal and anal fins. The only specimens I 
have seen are those listed below which were collected by Mr. Carriker. 
Vertebre 14+17=31. 
Buenos Aires (12), 85 to 100 mm. (Carriker).
