90. Apogon erythrinus Snyder, new species. Plate 9, fig. 17. 
Head, including opercular flap, 0.39 of length; depth 0.4; depth of caudal peduncle 0.17; eyes 
0.37 of head; snout 0.21; maxillary 0.45; D. vi, 1 + 9; A. n, 8; P. 14; scales in lateral line 26;

insertion of spinous dorsal and occiput 5. Width of body at pectorals about half the depth; caudal 
peduncle slender, distance between last anal ray and base of caudal 0.32 of length. 
Head short, snout blunt and rounded, lower jaw included; interorbital space flat with a slight 
median elevation, width equal to diameter of the eye; mouth oblique, the maxillary extending to the 
posterior border of eye, the expanded portion with a slightly convex posterior border: both margins of 
preopercle weakly serrated; teeth on jaws, vomer, and palatines, the latter covering a small anterior area 
of bones; gillrakers on vertical limb of arch mere papilla? except a long slender one at the angle; those 
on horizontal limb long and slender near the angle, gradually reduced in length to near middle of limb, 
where they are short and rudimentary; scales weakly ctenoid; cheeks and opercles with scales; first 
dorsal spine short and weak; second very strong, its length equal to 0.6 of head, when depressed 
reaching base of second dorsal ray; remaining spines graduated in length to the last, which is about 
0.3 length of second; spine of soft dorsal very slender, equal in length to fourth spine of first dorsal; 
longest rays 0.65 of head. Anal rays about equal in length to those of dorsal. Caudal 0.3 of the 
length; its margin with a deep notch. Pectorals 0.22 of the length, ventrals 0.22.

spots or bars on the body and fins, and by having the second dorsal spine largest.
