[19] REVIEW OF THE LABROID FISHES. C17 



inal Labrus tinea of Linnaeus, and of this we see no room for doubt, then 

 it must stand as Symphodus or Grenilabrus tinea, the other Crenilabrus 

 tinea (of Cuv. & Val., 1839), must take some other name, and the name 

 pavo must be restored to Thalassoma (or Julis) pavo, to which it has 

 always belonged. 



Our specimens of Symphodus tinea are from Palermo, and from the 

 south coast of France.

Habitat — Coasts of northern Europe ; occasionally in the Mediter- 

 ranean. 



Etymology : MiXas black, Zip eye, from the black spot behind the eye. 



This species is found chiefly in the waters of northern Europe, where 

 it is said to be generally common. We have not studied it, and have 

 taken our account of it chiefly from the figure and description of Dr. 

 Day. It is one of the most strongly marked species, and its synonymy 

 offers no special question. 



13. SYMPHODUS MELANOCERCUS.

 Crenilabrus cyanospilotus Cocco (fide Bonaparte). 

 Crenilabrus xanthomelanus Cocco (fide Bonaparte). 

 Crenilabrus melanoxanthurus Cocco (fide Bonaparte). 



Habitat — Mediterranean fauna. 

 Etymology : Mlkaq black, yjpxoq tail. 



We have not seen this species. We follow Dr. Steindachner in re- 

 garding G. ceeruleus as identical with S. melanocercus.
