﻿An Examination of the Types of Recently Described 

 Fishes, Chiefly from the Regions Bearing on 

 the Panama Problems 



Tliroiigli exchange I liii^e been able to examine Astuanax scierus 

 Fowler, and Asti/ana.r noteniigoiioide.'i Fowler. The former is a synonym of 

 Brijcoiuuncricus po-uanus (Miiller and Trosehel), and the latter is a syno- 

 nym of Astijana.r T)rci-'irostrh (Giinther). Throngli the courtesy of Dr. 

 Fowler I have also been able to examine his Apodastijanax steirardsoni. 

 It is synonymous with Ctvnohnjcon spilurKS (C. & V.). The type of 

 Apodasti/diifi.r at some time in its career has lost its ventrals. 



Dr. t^. E. Meek has kindly lent me some of the types of the new CTiar- 

 acins recently described by him. His A^fijanax grandU is the species 

 long referred to as Asti/aua.i- fasciafiis and which occurs in large numbers 

 in the Atrato. His Ci'caf/nffii.s notropoides is the Creagnitus affiuis of 

 Steindachner. His Deutcrodoii atiocuiidatiis is a member of the genus 

 Gepliyrochai-a-r described in the first part of this paper. His Hemigram- 

 7ni(s ininutHS is HgpJic-y-sohri/con panaincnsis Durbin (Ellis). His Cheirodon 

 (igcninanni appears to rein-esent a new genus connecting the Rhod since 

 with the ipli i/oc]ni raci !t(r. It agrees with Parastieiiuna, but has only a 

 single series of ]>reinaxillary teeth. 



Luciocharax striatum Boulenger (1911) from the San Juan is a syno- 

 nym of Luciocharax heani Fowler from the Atrato.
