from upper lip toward eye, then down across opercle below; a deep blue band from mandible along 
side of breast to base of ventral; chin to space between ventrals deep blue; round dark-edged blue 
spots, small, very numerous on trunk, especially posteriorly; dorsal and anal bordered with gray 
brown, with 3 narrow dark marginal lines parallel with edges of fins; small spots on dark bases of each 
dorsal and anal; a blue-green spot at base of each dorsal spine and most soft rays; caudal and pectoral 
whitish or pale brown; ventrals broadly dusky on outer portion; axil of pectoral deep blue black, 
edged with blue and blue green. 
Described from an example (No. 625) taken at Honolulu by the Fur Seal Commission in 1896. 
This species is common about the reefs of Honolulu, burying itself in the sand when at rest, with 
only the snout and eyes visible. For this reason it is called loin , lazy. 
Three examples were obtained by Dr. Jenkins, 1 by the Albatross in 1896, and 3 by us, 1 of them 
from Hilo.
