hesitate to admit LZ. rosaceus as distinct from . analis. The larger 
eye and redder coloration perhaps indicate a specimen from deeper 
water than usual. 
Specimens of this species are in the museum at Cambridge from 
Nassau, Rio Janeiro, and Rio Grande do Norte. 
15. LUTJANUS COLORADO. (Pargo Colorado.) 
Lutjanus colorado Jordan & Gilbert, Proc. U. S. N. M. 1881, 338, 351, 355 (Mazatlan) ; 
Jordan & Gilbert, Bull. U. S. N. M. 1882, 107, 110 (Mazatlan, Panama) ; 
Jordan & Swain, 1.c.; Evermann & Jenkins, Proc. U.S. N. M. 1891, 147 
(Guaymas). 
Habitat: Guaymas to Panama. 
Etymology: Spanish, colorado, red (colored), in allusion to the com- 
mon name pargo colorado. 
16. LUTJANUS BRACHYPTERUS. 
Lutjanus brachypterus Cope, Trans. Am. Phil. Soc. 1871, 470 (New Providence) ; 
Jordan and Swain, |. c., 447 (description of type). 
Habitat: Bahama Islands. 
Etymology: fpazis, short; ztepdy, fin. 
Of this species, a single specimen only is known. It is allied to L. 
griseus, although apparently distinct from that species and from all 
others known to us. In its technical characters it approaches most 
closely to DZ. synagris, near which species it is convenient to place it 
in our analytical key. If we suppose the type of L. ambiguus to bea 
hybrid, synagris-chrysurus, we may suspect L. brachypterus to represent 
a hybrid of griseus and synagris. The evidence in the latter case is less 
striking than in the former. 
17. LUTJANUS GUTTATUS. (Flamenco.) 
Mesoprion guttatus Steindachner, Ichthyol. Notizen, rx, 18, 1869, taf. vim (Mazatlan). 
Lutjanus guttatus, Jordan & Gilbert, Proc. U. 8S. N. M. 1881, 354; Jordan & Gilbert, 
op. cit., 1882, 625 (Panama); Jordan & Gilbert, Bull. U.S. F.C. 1882, 107, 
110 (Mazatlan, Panama); Jordan & Swain, l. c.; Evermann & Jenkins, 
Proc. U.S. N. M. 1891, 147 (Guaymas); Jordan, 1. c., 1889, 181 (Panama). 
Habitat: Guaymas to Panama. 
Etymology: Guttatus, spotted. 
This species represents Lutjanus synagris on the Pacific coast. It is 
a common food-fish at Guaymas, Mazatlan, and Panama,
