954 Transactions.—Zoology. 
This species has not been recognized since Forster’s time. 
AUCHENOPTERUS COMPRESSUS, Hutton. 
I think that this fish is the same as Trypterygium fenestratum, Forster. 
TRYPTERYGIUM NIGRIPENNE, C. and V. 
This is the same as Blennius varius, Forster. 
TRYPTERYGIUM FORSTERI, C. and V. 
This is the same as Blennius tripennis, Forster. A specimen of this fish, 
obtained near Dunedin by Mr. Bourne, is in the Otago Museum. It is 
quite distinct from T. nigripenne, and easily distinguished by its large scales. 
The fin formula of the specimen 1s— 
D 3 | 16 | 18, A 23; L. Lat. 40; L. Trans. 6/12. 
CycLoprerus LrTTOREUS, Forster. 
This species has not since been identified. 
LABRICHTHYS PSITTACULA. 
This is the same as Sparus rubiginosus, Parkinson (Julius (?) rubiginosus, 
Rich., 1848), and Labrus coccineus, Forster (1844). As Dr. Günther has 
shewn that our fish is not identieal with the type of the species from 
Tasmania, its name must be changed ; and as Parkinson's name has been 
used by Schlegel for a fish from Japan, it will be better to adopt Forster's 
name for ours. I cannot agree with Dr. Günther that our fish may be the 
adult of L. celidota, because I have seen specimens of L. coccinea smaller ` 
than well-marked specimens of L. celidota ; and the stations of the two are ` 
very different. 
LABRICHTHYS CINCTA, sp. nov. 
D $$; A; L. Lat. 25; L. Trans. 8/9. 
A small posterior canine. Cheeks with five rows of scales. Caudal, 
truncated, slightly rounded in the centre. Purplish-grey, getting darker 
on the back and head; a broad black transverse band on the body behind 
the tips of the pectorals, passing on to the dorsal between the sixth and 
eighth spine. 
Habitat: Coasts of Otago. 
Rare. Type stuffed in the Otago Museum. This species differs from 
L. richardsoni, Castlenau, in having five series of scales on the cheeks, and 
no black spot on the extremity of the operculum, as well as in general 
colour. 
MonacanTHUS CONVEXIROSTRIS, Günther. 
This is certainly the Balistes scaber of Forster.
