Dorsal originating in advance of the vertical of the origin of the ventrals 
and terminating a little behind the anal. The spines increase in height posteriorly. 
Ventrals reaching the vent. The soft portions of the fins are slightly damaged in 
the type but their margins were probably somewhat pointed. 
The colour of the type has faded to a uniform yellowish with some silvery 
flecks on the sides. According to De Vis, it w r as uniform pale brown with a minute 
black super-axillary spot. 
Text-fig. 2. — Pseudopomacentrus niomatus (Do Vis). Holotype of Pomacentrus niomatus De Vis 
from the “ South Sea Islands.” 
G. P. Whitley, del. 
Described and figured from the holotype of Pomacentrus niomatus De Vis, 
a specimen 48 mm. from snout to hypural joint. (Qld. Mus. Regd. No. I. 11/111.) 
This species is closely allied to Pomacentrus trilineatus Bleeker (non Cuv. & Val.), 
part 35 but lacks the spot on the caudal peduncle and has a serrated suborbital. 
Regan 36 has wrongly identified Pomacentrus inornatus De Vis from Easter 
Island. The species he figures is, however, a new species of Eupomacentrus which 
may now be known as E. paschalis (vide p. 225 of this paper). 
Fowler 37 has recorded Pomacentrus inornatus from Laysan Island, but it seems 
doubtful whether De Vis’ species occurs in such high latitudes. 
Pseudopomacentrus flavicauda (Whitley).
