 Pseudorhombus oligodon Jordan and Evermann, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., vol. 25, 



p. 365 (Formosa). — Jordan and Starks, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., vol. 31, 1906, 



p. 177. 



This species is characterized by the ctenoid scales of the lower side, 

 as also described by Bleeker for P. oligodon. The figure given by 

 Temminck and Schlegel evidently represents the body deeper than 

 usual in any Japanese species, and too many teeth are shown. Tem- 

 minck and Schlegel's description and plate give the color and length 

 of maxillary (reaching to below posterior border of orbit) as in P. 

 oligodon and not as in P. misalcius.
