Trigla Chabrontera. T. corpore subtus cataphracto, pinnis rubris. 

 Gurnard with the body mailed beneath, and red fins. 

 Trigla Chabrontera. Cepede. 



Extremely allied to the preceding, but differs 

 in not having the body marked into an octagonal 

 form ; the under parts only being furnished with 

 bony divisions : above the snout are several spines 

 pointing backwards j and above and below the tail 

 are also placed three spines : all the fins, except 

 the tail, are of a bright red. Native of the Me- 

 diterranean.
