73. SALARIAS FRONTALIS (Hhrenb.), Cuv. § Val. (Plate 46. fig. 1.) 
(Hist. Nat. des Poiss. xi. p. 828, 1836.) ; 
Depth of body nearly equal to length of head, which is about 4 in total 
length (without caudal). Diameter of eye 33 in head and 13 times the 
interorbital width. Forehead projecting beyond the snout; cleft of mouth 
extending to below posterior margin of eye. Canine teeth present. Anterior 
nostrils with a pair of well-developed simple tentacles, which arise at a short 
distance from the orbital margin in front of the middle of the eye. No 
supraorbital or occipital tentacles. No occipital crest. Dorsal 12/19, highest 
posteriorly, the longest rays equal to height of body below them; margin 
straight, without notch ; last ray attached by a membrane to the caudal 
pedunele anterior to the procurrent caudal rays. Anal 22. Caudal rounded, 
but with one ray on both dorsal and ventral borders produced. Pectoral ” 
shorter than head, not extending to origin of anal. 
A single specimen, 6°5 cm. in length, from Suakim. 
This species agrees in most characters with Salarias melanosoma, Regan, 
from Christmas Island, and Salarias anomalus, Regan {, from the Persian 
Gulf, but both of these have the dorsal fin notched. 
Giinther t includes Salarias frontalis in the synonymy of Salarias fuscus 
with a query, but it is quite distinct from that species.
