EHOMBOIDICHTHYS LEOPARDINUS, Gthr. [No. 19218]. 

 Bhomhoidichthys leopardinus, Gunther, Cat. Fisb., iv, 1862, 43. 



The posterior half of the lower eye fulls vertically below the upper; 

 the interorbital space concave, its width equaling the longitudinal diam- 

 eter of the eye, and scaly only on its posterior half; anterior half naked. 

 Brownish spots, and blue-edged ocelli scattered over the body and fins. 



Locality : Fanning Group. 



This species is very closely allied to E. pantlierinus, but it may readily 

 be distinguished by the naked anterior-half of the interocular space, 

 and by the scattered ocelli. Giinther records it without a habitat, and 

 this is the first instance, to our knowledge, where a locality has been 

 assigned to it.
