232 CLASSIFICATION OF FISHES, ETC. 



Eupemis Sw. Head naked^ much lengthened, but not 

 tubular, as in Gomphosis ; body slender and narro-w 

 in the middle ; mouth large, opening rather obliquely ; 

 the jaws equal ; teeth as in Labrus ; dorsal fin naked, 

 linear ; the spinal rays very slender, without fila- 

 ments, and all of equal length ; lateral line nearly 

 straight ; caudal round ; pectoral and ventral very 

 small, slightly pointed ; analogous to Cichla. 

 E. fiisiformis Su.'. Riipp. Atl. ii. pi. 1. fig. 4. 



JuLus Antiq. Body fusiform ; head and gill-covers 

 entirely destitute of scales (Jig. 57. d) ; teeth at the 

 tip of the j aws longest ; lateral line abruptly curved 

 and continuous. 



Chloricthijs Sw. Teeth as Labrus, the two most anterior 

 incisors in each jaw longest ; dorsal fin very narrow ; 

 the anterior spinal rays rather the shortest^ with the 

 membrane cut into short filaments ; caudal fin more 

 or less lunated, with the extremities pointed : con- 

 necting this genus to Hemiulis.

Tcthycallus Sw. The first or spiny rays of the dorsal 

 shorter than the posterior ; representing Labrus ; ge- 

 neral structure of the last, but the scales are smaller, 

 and often concealed by the skin ; caudal fin truncate 

 or rounded.
