52. Gobiopterus farcimen. Jordan & Evermann, new species. 
Head 3.25 in length; depth 3.5; eye 3.2 in head; snout 3.5; D. vi-11; A. 9; scales 28 (27 to 29)-10. 
Body rather robust, compressed, greatest depth at gill-opening; head rather large, depth 1.25 in 
length, width 1.4; upper profile of head evenly convex from tip of snout to origin of dorsal; jaws 
large, mandible very large, slightly produced; mouth large, very oblique, maxillary extending beyond 
front margin of eye; teeth in jaws uniserial, rather large, somewhat canine-like; two small depressible 
canines on posterior part of bone behind anterior series; lips large, thick, fleshy; tongue not emargi- 
nate, large, thick, rounded; nostrils close together, posterior very large, in front of upper margin of 
orbit with elevated rim; interorbital space very narrow, concave; scales large, ctenoid; a large pore 
behind and above base of pectoral; gill-opening large, continued forward below; spinous dorsal small, 
flexible, spines ending in filaments, beginning behind base of pectoral; soft dorsal high, rays of nearly 
uniform length; anal with posterior rays elongate, much longer than anterior; caudal elongate, 
rounded; pectoral broad, round, equal to head; ventrals long, equal to head, broad, without any 
frenum in front; caudal peduncle compressed, its length 1.5 in head, depth 2.25. 
Color in alcohol, pale brown, trunk covered all over with very pale minute brown dots; fins very pale 
brown, dorsals dusky, especially the spinous; 3 vertical pairs of pale brown cross-lines over side of head. 
Described from an example 1.1 inches long, taken at Hilo. Type, No. 50654, U. S. N. M. 
VITRARIA Jordan & Evermann, new genus. 
Vitraria Jordan & Evermann, new genus of Gobiidx, subfamily Luciogobinix (clarescens) . 
Body elongate, translucent, covered with very small thin scales; mouth small, oblique; teeth 
minute; gill-opening rather narrow; dorsals small, the rays v-11 ; pectoral rather long; ventrals small, 
united in a circular disk. Small gobies of the coral reefs, allied to the Japanese genus Clariger, but 
with the first dorsal of 7 small spines instead of 3. 
53. Vitraria clarescens Jordan & Evermann, new species.

Body elongate, slender, compressed, greatest depth between dorsal fins; head elongate; pointed, 
conic, depth 1.75 in its length, width 2; snout rather long, rounded; jaws prominent, upper slightly 
produced; mouth oblique, maxillary reaching a little beyond anterior margin of eye; teeth not evident; 
tongue broad, truncate; snout above, interorbital space, and top of head more or less flattened; nostrils 
well separated, anterior nearly midway in length of snout, posterior close to front of eye; eye rather 
large, anterior; gill-opening restricted to side, rather small; scales very small; dorsal spines flexible, 
first dorsal small, the last three spines very small (minute stubs, broken in the type) the fin beginning 
behind tip of ventrals; soft dorsal beginning a little nearer base of caudal than tip of snout, about
