Fig. 25 . — Calotomus myderi Jenkins, new species. Type. 
151. Calotomus snyderi Jenkins, new sjiecies. 
Head 3.2 in length; depth 2.6; eye 5.6 in head; snout 2.8; preorbital 4.7; interorbital 4; D. ix, 10; 
A. in, 10; P. 12; scales 2-25-6. Body short, deep, and much compressed; dorsal outline rather straight 
from tip of snout to nape, from which point it is gently convex to origin of dorsal, thence in a long, 
low curve to base of caudal peduncle; ventral outline rather evenly convex; head short, as deep as 
long; snout bluntly conic, lower jaw slightly included; mouth small, in axis of body; teeth in front of 
each jaw free, convex, incisor-like, in 2 or 3 rows; upper jaw with 2 moderately strong, recurved canines, 
inside and posterior to which is a row of close-set smaller teeth; side of lower jaw with overlapping 
series of rounded incisor-like teeth; preorbital oblique, moderately deep; eye small, high up; inter- 
orbital broad, low, convex; caudal peduncle 2 in head; scales large, thin, adherent, the free edges 
membranous; 4 scales on median line in front of dorsal; cheek with a single row of 4 scales; opercle 
with 2 rows of large scales, 3 scales on lower limb; lateral line complete, clecurved under base of last 
dorsal ray, where there is usually one or more supernumerary tubes; tubes of lateral line numerously 
and widely branched, the branches varying from 4 or 5 to 12 or more; dorsal spines soft and flexible, 
149. Calotomus irradians Jenkins. 
One specimen (field No. 306, 17 inches in length) of this beautiful fish was obtained by me; and 
one (field No. 1298, 17 inches in length) by the Albatross in 1896. This species does not appear to be 
common, but is highly prized by the native fishermen for virtues which it is supposed to possess. 
Calotomus irradians Jenkins, Bull. U. S. Fish Comm, for 1899 (August 30, 1900), 58, fig. 15, Honolulu. (Type, No. 12142, L. S. 
Jr. Univ. Mus.; coll. O. P. Jenkins.) 
150. Calotomus sandvicensis Cuvier & Valenciennes. 
Color in life, dusky brown, with dark mottlings; base of pectoral black; chin light brown; no 
other distinct markings. This is a dull-colored fish not recognized by native fishermen as different from 
at least 2 or 3 other distinct species. Cuvier & Valenciennes’s description of C, sandvicensis, based 
on a specimen from the Sandwich Islands in Quoy & Gaimard’s collection, is very meager, and 
Guichenot’s redescription is not more complete, and this identification may prove incorrect. 
Very common at Honolulu. Thirteen specimens, 5 to 13 inches in length, were obtained by me. 
Callyodon sandvicensis Cuvier & Valenciennes, Hist. Nat. Poiss., xiv, 295, 1839, Sandwich Islands; Guichenot, Cat., Scarides, 
62, 1865 (Cuvier & Valenciennes’s type).
