In alcohol the bright colors all fade; general color grayish-yellow, darkest on nape; jaws and 
lower parts of head pale; breast and isthmus dark; the -1 white saddles on back and spot on nose plain 
white, each with black border; side of caudal peduncle rusty black, the blue faded; dorsal and anal 
tins white, each with a narrow black border, the former with an oblong black spot on last 2 membranes; 
caudal white, rusty at base, crossed near the middle by 2 parallel series of black spots, those of inner 
series largest and practically continuous; pectoral and ventrals pale. 
The above description is from a specimen (No. 2743) 3.5 inches long, taken in 1902 by Dr. Jordan 
at Apia, Samoa. The colored painting by Kako Morita is from color notes and sketch from the live 
fish by Dr. Jordan. The original type specimen came from Hawaii, but none has since been reported 
from those islands.

A. tit, 12; scales 8-81-31. 
Body elongate, compressed, greatest depth at beginning of anal; head elongate, pointed, its depth 
1.4 in its length; upper profile of head slightly convex; snout compressed, 2.8 in head; mouth rather 
long, horizontal, the corner slipping under preorbital sheath; lips thick, fleshy; teeth powerful, conic; 
2 produced strong canines in front of each jaw, those on mandible largest and fitting in between upper 
pair; jaws pointed and produced; eye small, anterior, high in head; preopercle with thin convex edge; 
interorbital width eonvexly elevated; nostrils close together in front of eye, anterior in short, fleshy 
tube; last dorsal spine 3.3 in head; longest dorsal ray 2.5; anal spines graduated to last, which is 
longest; anal rays longer than spines, longest 2.4 in head; caudal broad, margin a little convex, 1.4 in 
head; pectoral with upper rays longest, 1.6; ventral pointed, not reachinganus, 2; scales small, cycloid 
rather thin; head, except on occiput, naked; small scales only on base of caudal, none on vertical fins; 
lateral line high, concurrent with back till below last dorsal rays, then running clown and along middle 
of side of caudal peduncle. 
Color in life (No. 02964), upper half of side with a broad lake-purple stripe, divided for its anterior 
two-thirds into 2 by a narrow pale lemon stripe, which begins on snout and extends across head just 
above eye to beneath fifteenth dorsal ray; a narrow stripe of lake-purple at base of dorsal separated 
from the broad stripe by a somewhat wider pale lemon stripe, which begins on nape just above posterior 
rim of eye and unites with the yellow of caudal peduncle, the broad lake purple stripe narrowly bor¬ 
dered below by rose-pink, below which is a narrow yellowish-white line, narrowest and best defined 
on cheek, broadest and most yellow on posterior third of body; lower half of side rose-pink, whitening 
below and somewhat yellowish on caudal peduncle; a broad brick-red stripe from snout through eye 
to upper edge of opercle; opercular flap light greenish anteriorly, then black, then pale on posterior 
border; cheek and lower half of head reddish, mixed with lemon; dorsal black and brownish-red, with 
narrow white border, and a series of large roundish chrome-yellow spots; a black ocellus on second

lunate bar, anteriorly with a yellowish streak and posteriorly by white, which is broadest at the outer 
angles; anal lake-red with yellow spots at bases of spines; the last ray yellow, fin becoming blacker 
toward edge and bordered narrowly with white; pectoral pale, slightly yellowish at base; ventrals 
white, anteriorly edged with vermilion. 
In another example (No. 05325) there is an indistinct brown band along middle of side from 
pectoral to base of lower caudal rays. 
Color in alcohol, pale brownish white; back with 3 blackish brown longitudinal bands, first 
beginning on side of snout, narrow, running along base of dorsal, and continued as broad crescent 
across caudal; above and behind eye it gives out a second band which joins the lowest near descent of 
lateral line; lowest or third band broadest, beginning on side of snout, running through eve across 
opercle above to base of upper caudal rays; black spot on opercular flap; dorsal and anal blackish 
brown with narrow white edges, the former with median series of whitish spots; anal blackish brown 
with median longitudinal dark band; pectorals and ventrals pale like belly.
