184. Teuthis bipunctatus (Gunther). 
/Color in life (field Nos. 74, 75, 4.4 and 5.5 inches in length), dark brown; face, throat and belly 
with many small inconspicuous spots of dark yellow. 
Fairly common at Honolulu. Eleven examples, 4.4 to 7 inches in length, were taken by me, and 
two by Dr. Wood. 
Acanthurus bipunctatus Gunther, Cat., in, 331, 1861 (Sea of China, Fiji Islands); Steindachner, Denks. Ak. Wiss. Wien, lxx, 
494, 1900 (Honolulu).

New Hebrides, Pelew Islands, Tahiti). 
185. Teuthis sandvicensis (Streets). “ Manini." 
Color in life, general ground color drab, with yellowish cloudings; belly, chir , throat, and body 
along base of anal white, or nearly so; side with 5 black vertical bars as wide as pupil, first on head 
through pupil extending slightly forward to branchiostegals; second from front of dorsal to axil of 
pectoral, continued by a bar originating on base of pectoral and extending obliquely backward to 
bell}” third from about sixth dorsal spine to a point about midway between anus and anal fin; fourth 
from about the first soft dorsal ray to first or second soft anal ray; fifth from seventh soft dorsal ray 
to ninth soft anal ray; a black spot on top of caudal peduncle extending to lateral line on each side; 
vertical fins dusky, anal with a white margin; pectoral fins colorless; ventral fins white with dusky 
I under surface. 
One of the most common fishes about the reefs; 8 adults and a large number of young were taken, 
f An examination of a large number of specimens of different ages shows a constancy in coloration.

186. Teuthis guttatus (Schneider). 
Color in life (field No. 328), general color brown; a light band from short distance in front of 
dorsal, downward over opercle to its lower margin; another from about fifth dorsal spine to space 
between anus and anal fin; another narrower, not so light nor so distinct, from third soft ray of dorsal 
nearly to third soft ray of anal; dorsal fin, anal fin, posterior half of body including caudal peduncle, 
Covered with white spots; ground color of dorsal and anal darker than that of body; a broad yellow 
band across base of caudal; posterior portion of caudal dark, nearly black; ventrals bright yellow 
with narrow dark margin; pectoral brown; chin, throat, and breast as far back as base of ventrals 
white; iris brown. 
1 obtained three examples of this species, 9, 10.75, and 11.5 inches in length; and two, 8 and 10.3 
inches long, were taken by Jordan & Snyder. It seems to be rare at Honolulu. 
Acanthurus guttatus Schneider, Syst. Ichth., 215, 1801, Tahiti; Gunther, Cat., m, 329, 1861; Gunther, Fische der Siidsee, iv

187. Zebrasoma hypselopterum (Bleeker). “Kihikihi.” 
Color in life (field No. 189, 3.1 inches in length), 6 chestnut-brown bands across body, running 
somewhat obliquely backwards, the first 4 edged with light blue, between the bands and in front of 
the first band yellow, which color anteriorly is brighter; caudal black; second and third yellow bands 
extending on dorsal and below on anal, following direction of rays on fins; remaining parts of anal 
and caudal chestnut brown; ventrals yellow, the color on these fins being a prolongation of the yellow 
of the first yellow band; pectoral anteriorly orange-yellow, posteriorly transparent; lips reddish. 
Seven specimens of this beautiful species, 3.1 to 9 inches in length, were obtained. It seems to 
be fairly common at Honolulu.
