of opercle; lower jaw profusely covered with line brown points; a black spot at upper end of opercular 
opening; axil black; vertical fins all more or less dark; produced part of soft dorsal almost black, low 
part of soft dorsal black at base, then lighter, narrowly tipped with dark; anal dark brown, with a 
subterminal stripe of yellowish white along edge of fin; pectoral and ventrals pale. 
The above description based upon the type, No. 50638, U. S. N. M. (field No. 04452), a large 
example, 27 inches long, from Honolulu. This species somewhat resembles Carangus marginatus , from 
which it differs in the much more slender body, larger eye, and dark anal fin. The type is the only 
example obtained.

Head 3.4 in length; depth 2.8; eye 4 in head; snout 3.75; interorbital 4; maxillary 2; I), vm-i, 
22; A. ii— t, 16; scutes about 34. 
Body oblong, compressed, dorsal outline evenly arched to nape, rather steep thence to tip of snout; 
head slightly longer than deep; snout bluntly pointed; mouth moderate, slightly oblique, lower jaw 
prominent, slightly produced; villiform teeth on vomer, palatines and tongue, a single row of small, 
wide-set, sharp, conic teeth in each jaw; tongue rounded, rather thick, free for most of its length; 
maxillary reaching to posterior edge of pupil, its width 1.25 in eve, sheathed by preorbital for the 
greater part of its length; eye anterior, pupil above axis; interorbital slightly trenchant; dorsal spines 
weak, longest 2.75 in head; origin of soft dorsal midway between tip of snout and fork of caudal, 
longest soft dorsal 1.75 in head, 2 in base of fin; caudal deeply forked, anal similar to soft dorsal; 
ventrals reaching just beyond vent, 2.35 in head; pectoral long and falcate, reaching considerably 
beyond end of arch, slightly longer than head, equal to base of soft dorsal; arch of lateral line nearly 
straight to under sixth dorsal spine, then descending rather abruptly to straight part under about the 
fifth dorsal ray, making rather a sharp angle, arch 1.35 in straight part; scaleson entire body, cheeks, 
and upper parts of opercle; breast scaly; scaly sheath of fins not greatly developed. 
Color in alcohol, grayish silvery, with slight bluish reflection above, becoming light, below and 
white on belly; spinous dorsal dusky, the produced part of soft, dorsal black, rest of fin edged with 
dark; caudal edged with dark; anal pale, a row of about 10 spots at its base, these seeming to be pro¬ 
duced by the bone showing through the membrane; other fins pale, the pectoral with a black spot at 
its axil; a small black spot on opercle at upper part of gill-opening. 
The above description based on a specimen (No. 04052) 11.25 inches long from Honolulu. We 
have examined 7 others from Honolulu, 8 to 11.25 inches long. Comparison with specimens from 
Panama fails to show any differences.
