catalog numbers, collection data, or located critical 
library references. A special thanks to Dan Margulies 
who graciously provided me with a home away from 
home during my many expeditions to the USNM. G. 
Steyskal (USNM) provided advice regarding etymol- 
ogy of scientific names. R. Rosa, C. Monteiro-Neto, 
M. Jansen, L. Gallo, and J. LePayre of VIMS, and R. 
Vari (USNM) generously gave their time and assis- 
tance to translate references. Staff members of li- 
braries at VIMS and USNM assisted in locating criti- 
cal references. D. Thoney, B. Jenkins, and G. 
Burreson (VIMS), R. Gibbons (NMFS), N. Menezes 
(MZUSP) and R. Castro (FFCLRP-Univerdidade de 
Sao Paulo, Ribeirao Preto, Brazil) provided photo- 
graphs, or assisted with photography and slide prepa- 
ration. G. Burgess (UF) provided color slides of 
freshly caught tonguefishes. K. Moore and M. 
Nizinski (NMFS) assisted with figure preparations. 
M. Nizinski prepared the final maps. Earlier drafts
