Parapercis pterostigma Jenkins, Bull. U. S. Fish Com. for 1899 (1901), 402. 
Neopercis roseoviridis, new species. Plate 83. 
Type, 71 mm. long, from station 4077, off the northeast coast of Maui, depth 99 to 106 fathoms; 
type No. 51650, U. S. Nat. Mus. 
Most nearly allied to N. multifasciata Doderlein, from Japan, differing most conspicuously in the 
much larger eye and in the color. 
Head 30 hundredths of total length, without caudal; depth 19; depth of caudal peduncle 9; maxil- 
lary 11; snout 7; eye 12; interorbital width 2. D. v-23; A. 20; P. 19 or 20. Lateral line with 55 pores 
(60 oblique rows running downward and backward above it); 21 scales in a cross-series from front of 
anal fin. 
Head wide and much depressed at occiput; snout short and rounded; mouth oblique, maxillary 
reaching vertical from front of pupil; narrow band of villiform teeth in upper jaw, the outer series 
enlarged, especially anteriorly; lower jaw with a narrow band of villiform teeth anteriorly, which 
tapers laterally to a single series of larger teeth; a short series of enlarged teeth in a straight line in 
front of symphyseal part of mandibular band ; a single series on vomer and palatines; a single strong 
opercular spine, head otherwise unarmed; gill-membranes broadly joined across throat, with a poste- 
rior free margin; branchiostegal rays 6, as in multifasciata. 
Dorsal spines regularly graduated, the fourth and longest spine united fully by membrane to first 
soft ray; last dorsal ray reaching caudal base when declined; pectorals reaching vertical from first anal 
ray, ventrals to base of third anal ray; caudal gently convex. 
Scales ctenoid, except on breast and abdomen; present on cheeks and opercles, but lacking on rest 
of head; lateral line convexly curved in its anterior portion, reaching axis of body at about middle of 
trunk. 
Ground color light rose above, crossed by 5 pairs of broad, brownish green bars, a single narrower 
dark bar across the nape; these bars correspond in position with the much narrower black bars of mul- 
tifasdatus ; no black spot at base of caudal; spinous dorsal largely black; three ill-defined cross-bars on 
median caudal rays; fins otherwise unmarked. 
A cotype from the same station is 62 mm. long, and has the dorsal iv-23; anal 20; pectoral 19 or 
20; scales in lateral line 57. Only 2 specimens obtained. 
N. multifasciata is described and figured as having 5 dorsal spines. In 6 specimens examined, 4 
have 4 spines, 2 have 5 spines. 
Bembrops filifera, new species. Plate 84. 
Type, a male, 223 mm. long, from station 4080, off the northeast coast Maui, depth 178 to 202 
fathoms; type, No. 51613, U. S. Nat. Mus. 
Differing from B. cciudimacula Steindachner in the much smaller scales, and from all known species 
in the filamentous first dorsal spine and the coloration. . 
Head 37.5 hundredths of total length (caudal excluded) ; snout 13; eye 8; maxillary 14.5; inter- 
orbital width 1.3; greatest depth 12; least depth caudal peduncle 5.5. D. vi-14; A. 18; P. 26 and 27; 
V. i, 5. Scales in lateral line 64 or 65, 6J between lateral line and anterior dorsal rays. 
Snout very long, depressed, spatulate, longitudinal, concave, resembling a duck's beak; mandible 
very projecting, dentigerous area at tip protruding above upper profile of snout; cleft of mouth a little 
oblique; maxillary reaching a vertical little in advance of pupil, and bearing at tip a long narrowly 
triangular fleshy flap; teeth villiform, everywhere in bands, inner teeth always longer, curved, readily 
depressible; premaxillary bands greatly widened anteriorly, a wide naked area separating them 
mesially; teeth also continued around on exposed surface of premaxillaries, and visible from 
above; vomerine patch divided into 2 portions by a naked mesial furrow, the very long narrow pala-
