TWO NEW SPECIES OF FISHES 
215 
Canthidermis sobaco (Poey) 
Balistes sobaco, Poey; Memories, II, 1861, 324. 
One small specimen, 49 millimeters long, was taken on April 16, 1919, D. Ill, 27; 
A. 24; depth 1.6; head 2.4; eye 3.25; mouth 1.8; pectoral 2.2. This small fish 
appears to be a new representative of the genus and species of the Key West fauna. 
It agrees essentially with Cope’s C. asperrimus (Trans., Amer. Philos. Soc., 1871, 
p. 478), held to be a synonym of C. sobaco, but the color is somewhat different. Our 
specimen is very dark brown, with elongate black spots arranged indefinitely in 
longitudinal series.
