De Yis's description is so incomplete that it is impossible to 

 identify his species with certainty. He described it as probably 

 from the South Seas, and Seale has recorded this, or a related 

 species, from Samoa. P. jenkinsi, from the Sandwich Islands, as 

 described and figured by Jordan and Evermann, seems to have 

 a broader and more convex interorbltal i^egion, deeper prseorbital, 

 and less deeply emarginate caudal fin.
