[85] REVIEW OP THE LABROID FISHES. 683 



This species is one of the most brilliant of the group, and may be 

 known by the coloration of the anal fin, which has suggested the name 

 punctulatus. 



Our single specimen is from Havana. Another from Porto Rico is in 

 the museum at Cambridge. The Scarus diadema seems to be the same, 

 but of this we are not quite certain. 



101. SCARUS BOLLMANI. 



Scarus bollmani Jordan & Evermarm, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., 1880, 470 (off Tampa Bay). 



Habitat. — Gulf of Mexico in deep water. 



Etymology : Named for its discoverer, Charles Harvey Bollman. 



This species is known from the original types only, taken from the 

 stomachs of groupers (Epinephelus) by Mr. Charles H. Bollman. 



102. SCARUS TiENIOPTERUS. 



Scarus tamiopterus Desmarest, Diet. Classique, xv, 244, pi. 12, 1831 (Cuba); Cuv. & 

 Val., xiv, 195 (same type) ; Jordan, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., 1886, 543 (note on 

 original type). 



Pseudoscarus tamiopterus Guichenot, Scaride's Mus. Paris, 1865, 26 (same specimen). 



Scarus vetula Cuv. & Val., xiv, 193, 1839 (St. Thomas; not of Bloch & Schneider, 

 based on a figure of Parra). 



Pseudoscarus psittacus Gunther, iv, 225, 1862 (Cuba ; Jamaica; after Coryphama psit- 

 tacus L., which is a species of Xyrichthys ; not Scarus psittacus Forskal, nn 

 Asiatic species); Guichenot, Scarid^s, Mus. Paris, 1865, 25 (Martinique; St. 

 Lucia) ; Poey, Synopsis, 347 (Cuba) ; Poey, Enumeratio, 116. 



Scarus psittacus Cope, Trans. Am. Philos. Soc, 1871, 461 (St. Martin ; St. Croix). 



Scarus virginalis Jordan & Swain, Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., 1884, 88 (Havana); Jordan, 

 Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus., 1886, 47 (Havana). 



Habitat. — West Indies. 



Etymology : Tatvta, ribbon ; -rcrepov, fin. 



Our specimens of this species are from Havana, and St. Thomas. 

 Others are in the museum at Cambridge from Porto Rico and St. 

 Thomas. The types of Scarus tamiopterus examined by us in Paris be- 

 long to the species called by Jordan & Swain Scarus virginalis. The 

 latter name should therefore be suppressed. 



The name psittacus has been used by recent writers for this species. 

 The original type of Goryphwna psittacus, sent by Dr. Garden from 

 Charleston, is still preserved by the Linna3an Society of London. It 

 has been examined by Dr. Bean, who has found it to be a Xyrichthys. 



There seems to be also no doubt that the original Vieja (pi. 28, f. 1), 

 of Parra, on which the Scarus vetula of Blcch & Schneider is based, 

 is identical with the Scarus superbus of Poey, rather than with the 

 present species, to which it has been referred by Cuvier & Valen- 

 ciennes. The name vetula must therefore supersede superbus, as already 

 noticed by Mr. Goode (Bull. U. S. Nat. Mus., v, 32.). 



* 103. SCARUS ARACANGA. 



Pseudoscarus aracanga Gunther, iv, 227, 1862 (Jamaica). 



Habitat. — West Indian fauna. 



Etymology : Portuguese name for some parrot.
