Iredaleichthys (type., Glyphisodon cyaneus Q. & G.) is allied to Glyphidodontops 
Bleeker 48 (type, Glyphisodon anfjerius C. & V.—ftde Jordan), but though 
Glyphidodontops was regarded as a substitute for Chrysiptera Swainson by Bleeker 49 
he also stated, ct Ce genre, bien que synonyme de Chrysiptera Swns.. est tout autre- 
ment caracterise ici que par Swainson.” In Bleeker’s key to the species, 
Glyphidodoniops cyaneus Bleeker enters the section “ Dents pharyngiemies en partie 
obtuses,” i.e. Iredaleichthys, whilst G. anfjerius, the true Glyphidodontops, has :i Dents 
pharyngiennes toutes point ues,” &c. These characters appear to be of at least 
subgeneric importance and I therefore retain the two names as distinct. Fowler 
& Bean 50 have shown that Glyphidodontops cyaneus Bleeker is not identical with 
Glyphisodon cyaneus Quov & Gaimard and have renamed it Abudef'duf bleeker i. 
Iredaleichthys pallidus (De Vis).

D.xiii/12 ; A.ii/12 ; P.17 ; V.i/5 ; C.15. Sc.24. 17 tubes on L.lat. L.tr. 
c.ll. 
Head (13 mm.) 3*3 in length to hypural joint (43) ; depth of body (15*5) 
2*7, and depth of caudal peduncle (6) 7*1 in same. Interorbital (3*5) equal to snout 
(3*5) and 3-7 in head. Eye (5) 2*6 in head. 
Upper profile roundly convex, the lower sloping downwards and backwards 
almost in a straight line to anal. Head scaly, except for the snout before the inter- 
orbital and the narrow suborbital. Eye large, its diameter longer than the width 
of the convex interorbital area. All opercles entire. Maxillary reaching to below 
anterior third of eye. A single series of compressed teeth in each jaw. 
Body elongate, compressed, entirely covered with scales which extend a 
short distance onto the fins. About i4 predorsal scales. The lateral line 
extends to below the soft dorsal and bears 17 tubes ; some punctured scales 
follow these and a row of them extends along the caudal peduncle. 
Dorsal originating slightly in advance of the vertical of the origin of the 
pectoral and terminating a little behind the anal. The spines increase in height 
posteriorly and the rays of the soft portion form a pointed lobe. Anal similar to soft 
dorsal but with longer rays. The membranes of the anal and anterior dorsal spines 
appear to be produced into pencils. Pectorals rounded, shorter than head. Ventrals 
pointed, their first rays reaching a trifle beyond the vent. Caudal lobes rounded, 
the lower longer.
