[37] REVIEW OF THE LABROID PISHES 635 



37. CLEPTICUS GENIZARA. 



(Genizaka.) 



Rabirrubia genizara Parra, Dif. Piezas de Hist! Nat. Cuba, 44, pi. 21, f. 1, 1787 (Ha- 

 vana). 



Clepiicus genizara Cuvier, Regne Animal, Ed. ii, 1829, 201 (after Parra) ; Cuv. & Val., 

 xiii, 367, pi. 377, 1839 (Antilles); Giiuther, iv, 112, 1862 (Jamaica); Toey, 

 Repert., i, 370, 1866; Poey, Synopsis, 332, 1868; Poey, Enumeratio,107, 1875 

 (Havana) ; Jordan, Proc. U. S.Nat. Mus., 1886, 45 (Havana). 



Habitat. — West Indies. 



Etymology : Spanish genizara, janissary ; from its gay coloration. 

 This species seems to be rather rare in the West Indies. We have a 

 single specimen nearly a foot long, from Havana. 



Genus XIV\— PSEUDOLABRUS. 



Pseudolabrus Bleeker, Proc. Zool. Soc. London, 1861, 413 (rubiginosus) 

 ? Labrichthys Bleeker, 1. c, 415 (cyanotcenia). 



Type : Labrns rubiginosus Schlegel. 



Etymology : Weudfa false ; Labrus, an allied genus. 



A single species of this East Indian genus occurs on the Pacific coast 

 of South America. Dr. Giiuther unites Labrichthys with Pseudolabrus, 

 not regarding either the single (instead of double) row of teeth on the 

 lower pharyngeal or the slight sheath of scales at the base of the dor- 

 sal in the former group as of generic value. In any case, the name 

 Pseudolabrus has priority, and it is to that group that our species ap- 

 parently belongs. 



ANALYSIS OF AMERICAN SPECIES OF PSEUDOLABRUS. 



a. [A small posterior canine ; four rows of small scales on cheeks below the eye ; a 

 small blue spot on the upper part of the base of pectoral ; edges of the scales paler 

 than the middle ; pectorals bright yellow ; dorsal generally dull indigo blue. D. 

 IX., 11; A. Ill, 10; scales 3-25-8.] (Steindachner.) Gayi, 38. 



38. PSEUDOLABRUS GAYI. 



Labrus gayi Cuv. & Val., xiii, 97, 1839 (Juan Fernandez ) ; Guichenot, in Gay, 



"Hist. Chil., Zool., ii, 299, lam. 8, f. 1." 

 Labrichthys gayi Gunther, iv, 115, 1862 (copied); Steindachner, Ichth. Beitr., ii, 19, 



1875 (Juan Fernandez ; Chili). 



Habitat. — Coast of Juau Fernandez and Chili. 



Etymology : Named for Claude Gay, author of a history of Chili. 



We know this species from the scanty published descriptions.
