Hemicoris keleipionis Jenkins, new species. Fig. 6. 
Head 3.2 in body to base of caudal, 3.8. in total length; depth 3.6 to base of caudal, 4.5 in total 
length. D. ix, 12. A. ill, 12. Scales 56, with tubes 50. Head entirely naked, bases of vertical fins 
not sheathed. Teeth pointed, two rows in each sideof upper jaw, a single series m lower; no posterior 
canine, the two anterior canines strong and curved outward. First dorsal spine somewhat extended, 
spinous portion lower than soft rays; the caudal rounded; anal less high than dorsal; ventral not 
quite reaching vent. 
Coloration in alcohol (not seen fresh): General color of body pale with tinge of pink, with about 
21 distinct narrow longitudinal stripes, these Tunning through upper border of each row of scales 
and lower border of the adjacent row; head pale without markings; ventral fins white; dorsal show- 
ing trace of a longitudinal line about one-tliird its height from outer margin; anal with no markings 
except faint trace on portions of outer margin ; caudal showing remains of about five irregular cross- 
bands; pectoral and veutrals colorless and without markings. 
This species is dedicated to Mr. Keleipio, of Honolulu, who rendered very valuable aid in securing 
the fishes of Dr. Wood’s collection. 
One specimen was obtained by Dr. Wood at Honolulu. Type No. 6049, L. S. Jr. University 
Museum. The following are its measurements:

Fig. V. — Thala8soma pyrrhovinctum Jenkins, new species. Type. 
Thalassoma pyrrhovinctum Jenkins, new species. Native name, Hinalea lauli. Fig. 7. 
Head with flap in body to base of caudal 3.4, in total, 4; depth in body to base of caudal 3.25, 
3.6. D. viii, 13. A. ii, 11. Scales 2-28-9. Lateral line continuous, tubes three-branched. Teeth, two 
prominent canines from which the remaining ones of the series are graduated in size, no posterior 
canine. Caudal lobes produced, veutrals somewhat prolonged. 
Coloration in life: Colors very bright; the whole head dark purple without markings, this color 
extending a very short distance on body ; behind this coloration, a broad orange area extending around 
body from head as far back as third dorsal spine; remainder of body, with dorsal, anal, and caudal 
fins dark purple, with (in some specimens) reddish coloration; upper lobes of caudal sometimes 
distinctly reddish-brown ; upper lobes of candal much produced, amount varying, in some equaling 
three-fourths length of head ; pectoral with a broad dusky bar extending from middle of fin to tip ; axil 
and base of fin a dark purple; ventrals produced. Mrs. Whitney, of Honolulu, has shown me a series 
of colored drawings of Hawaiian fishes made by her, in which the colors represented are as contained in 
my notes with the exception of representing color of body behind the orange bar as dark green, each 
scale with a vertical brown line; dorsal and anal fins very dark purple. 
This fish is similar to T. melanoptera (Gunther), differing in conspicuous orange band from head 
to third dorsal 8i>ine extending around body, in dark-purple color of caudal, and in veutrals being pro-
