Family SERRANID^). 
Anthias fuscipinnis Jenkins, new species. Fig. 3. 
Depth of body 2.5 in length; head 2.8 in length. D. x, 17; A. in, 7. Pectoral 1.31 in head. 
Ventral about equal to head. Eye 4 in head. Interorbital slightly wider than eye. Maxillary reach- 
ing to below middle of eye. Narrowest part of preorbital a little less than 2 in eye. Branchiostegals, 
7; gillrakers on lower arm of first branchial arch, 34. Mouth very oblique. Lower jaw somewhat 
projecting, -just entering profile. Upper profile of head reentrant before the nostrils; from here to 
nape steep and almost straight, in one specimen rather prominently convex before the eyes; strongly 
bulging at nape in front of dorsal spines. Profile of back straight from front of first dorsal to anterior 
rays of soft dorsal ; from here descending to caudal peduncle, the upper edge of which is on a level 
with the tip of the snout. V entral profile less convex and less angular than the upper. Opercle with 
two flat spines, the upper the larger; lower part of edge of opercle serrated. Angle of preopercle with 
one or two small spines; both vertical and horizontal margins of preopercle serrated. Preorbital 
entire, edge of suborbital hidden by scales. Teeth in sides of jaw minute, in villiform bands; two 
small canines in front of upper jaw, two to six in front of lower jaw.
